JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 -7. Alternating current

A series \(LCR\) circuit is connected to an \(AC\) source of \(220\,V , 50\,Hz\). The circuit contains a resistance \(R =80\,\Omega\), an inductor of inductive reactance \(X _{ L }=70\,\Omega\), and a capacitor of capacitive reactance \(X _{ C }=130\,\Omega\). The power factor of circuit is \(\frac{ X }{10}\). The value of \(x\) is:

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\cos \phi=\frac{ R }{ Z }=\frac{ R }{\sqrt{ R ^2+\left( X _{ C }- X _{ L }\right)^2}}\) \(\cos \phi=\frac{80}{\sqrt{(80)^2+(60)^2}}\) \(\cos \phi=\frac{80}{100} \Rightarrow \frac{8}{10}\) So, \(x=8\)
