Question: Q. 6. (i) An $a c$ source of voltage $V=V_{0} \sin \omega t$ is connected to a series combination of $L, C$ and $R$. Use the phasor diagram to obtain expressions for impedance of the circuit and phase angle between voltage and current. Find the condition when current will be in phase with the voltage. What is the circuit in this condition called?
(ii) In a series $L R$ circuit $X_{L}=R$ and power factor of the circuit is $P_{1}$. When capacitor with capacitance $C$ such that $X_{\mathrm{L}}=X_{C}$ is put in series, the power factor becomes $P_{2}$. Calculate $\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$. U [Delhi I, II, III 2016]

Ans. (i) Try yourself similar Q. 5 Long Answer Type Question.
(ii) Power factor :
$$ \begin{array}{rlr} P_{1} & =\frac{R}{Z}=\frac{R}{\sqrt{R^{2}+R^{2}}} \quad\left(\text { as } X_{L}=R\right) \ & =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & 1 / 2 \end{array} $$
Power factor when capacitor $C$ of Reactance $X_{C}=$ $X_{L}$ is put in series in the circuit
$$ \begin{array}{rlr} Z & =R & \text { (at resonance) } \ P_{2} & =\frac{R}{Z}=\frac{R}{R}=1 & \ \therefore \quad & \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} & =\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{array} $$

(iii) Acceptor circuit : Series LCR circuit Radio tuning
Detailed Answer :
(i) $\mathrm{AC}$ generator
Basic elements of an $\mathrm{AC}$ generator :
- Rectangular coil : Also called as armature
- Strong permanent magnets : Magnetic field is perpendicular of the axis of rotation of coil.
- Slip rings
- Brushes
Rotation of coil
Field Motion Armature coil clockwise
AC generator
Principle : It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. That is, when a coil is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the direction of uniform magnetic field, an induced emf is produced across it.
Working of AC Generator
(ii) (a) The capacitor stores energy in the form of electric field and the inductor stores energy in the form of magnetic field.
(b) Oscillations become damped due to : $1 / 2+1 / 2$
- Resistance of the circuit
- Radiation in the form of EM waves $1 / 2$ OR
(i) Curve $B$ corresponds to inductive reactance and curve $C$ corresponds to resistance. $1 / 2+1 / 2$ (ii) At resonance,
$$ \begin{equation*} X_{L}=X_{C} \tag{1} \end{equation*} $$
Therefore, impedance is given as :
$$ \begin{aligned} & Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(X_{L}-X_{C}\right)^{2}} \ & Z=R \end{aligned} $$
Thus, series $L C R$ circuit at resonance behaves as a purely resistive circuit.
For $X_{L}>X_{C}, V_{L}>V_{C}$. Therefore phasor diagram is :
Here, $\phi$ is phase difference.
For $X_{L}=X_{C}, V_{L}=V_{C}$. Therefore phasor diagram is :
(iii) Series resonance $L C R$ circuit is called an acceptor circuit.
