JEE Advance - Physics (2021 - Paper 2 Online - No. 11)

In a circuit, a metal filament lamp is connected in series with a capacitor of capacitance C $$\mu$$F across a 200 V, 50 Hz supply. The power consumed by the lamp is 500 W while the voltage drop across it is 100 V. Assume that there is no inductive load in the circuit. Take rms values of the voltages. The magnitude of the phase-angle (in degrees) between the current and the supply voltage is $$\varphi $$. Assume, $$\pi$$$$\sqrt 3 $$ $$ \approx $$ 5.

The value of C is ____________.
Answer
100

Explanation

For lamp,

$$p = {{{V^2}} \over R}$$

$$R = {{100 \times 100} \over {500}} = 20\Omega $$

$$i = {V \over R} = {{100} \over {20}} = 5A \Rightarrow i = {V \over {\sqrt {{R^2} + X_C^2} }}$$

$$ \Rightarrow 5 = {{200} \over {\sqrt {{{(20)}^2} + {{\left( {{1 \over {2\pi \times 50 \times C}}} \right)}^2}} }}$$

$$ \Rightarrow 400 + {\left( {{1 \over {100\pi C}}} \right)^2} = 1600$$

$$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{1 \over {100\pi C}}} \right)^2} = 1200 \Rightarrow {1 \over {{\pi ^2}{C^2}}} = 1200 \times {10^4}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {(\pi C)^2} = {1 \over {12}} \times {10^{ - 6}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {C^2} = {1 \over {12{\pi ^2}}} \times {10^{ - 6}} $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$ C = {1 \over {\sqrt {12} \pi}} \times {10^{ - 3}} = 100 \times {10^{ - 6}}F = 100\mu F$$
