JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 20th July Morning Shift - No. 25)

In an LCR series circuit, an inductor 30 mH and a resistor 1 $$\Omega$$ are connected to an AC source of angular frequency 300 rad/s. The value of capacitance for which, the current leads the voltage by 45$$^\circ$$ is $${1 \over x} \times {10^{ - 3}}$$ F. Then the value of x is ____________.
Answer
3

Explanation

Given,

Inductance, L = 30 mH

Resistance, R = 1 $$\Omega$$

Angular frequency, $$\omega$$ = 300 rad/s

We know that in L-C-R circuit, $$\tan \phi = {{{X_C} - {X_L}} \over R}$$

where, $$\phi$$ = phase angle = 45$$^\circ$$

XC = capacitive reactance = $${1 \over {\omega C}}$$

XL = inductive reactance = $$\omega$$L

$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\tan 45^\circ = {{{X_C} - {X_L}} \over R}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {X_C} - {X_L} = R$$ [$$\because$$ tan 45$$^\circ$$ = 1]

$$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {\omega C}} - \omega L = R \Rightarrow {1 \over {\omega C}} - 300 \times 30 \times {10^{ - 3}} = 1$$

$$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {\omega C}} = 10 \Rightarrow \omega C = {1 \over {10}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow C = {1 \over {10\omega }} \Rightarrow C = {1 \over {10 \times 300}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow C = {1 \over 3} \times {10^{ - 3}}F$$ .... (i)

According to question, the value of capacitance is $${1 \over x} \times {10^{ - 3}}F$$. So, on comparing it with Eq. (i), we can say x = 3.
