Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 192

Question: A series LR circuit is connected to an ac source of frequency ω and the inductive reactance is equal to 2R. A capacitance of capacitive reactance equal to R is added in series with L and R. The ratio of the new power factor to the

Options:

A) 23

B) 25

C) 32

D) 52

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Powerfactor(old)

=RR2+XL2=RR2+(2R)2=R5R

Powerfactor(new)

=RR2+(XLXC)2=RR2+(2RR)2=R2R

,New,power,factorOld,power,factor=R2RR5R=52
