Sample questions

Question 1

A 40 \mu F capacitor is connected to a 200 V, 50 Hz ac supply. The rms value of the current in the circuit is, nearly :

Question 2

A series LCR circuit is connected to an ac voltage source. When L is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage is \frac{\pi}{3}. If instead C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again \frac{\pi}{3} between current and voltage. The power factor of the circuit is :

Question 3

A graph represents the variation of instantaneous current I and instantaneous voltage V with time t for an AC circuit. The current is given by I = I_0 \sin(\omega t) and the voltage by V = V_0 \sin(\omega t + \phi). The graph shows that the voltage waveform leads the current waveform. Which type of circuit could this represent?
