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

A series \(LR\) circuit connected with an ac source \(E=(25 \sin 1000 t)\  V\) has a power factor of \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\). If the source of emf is changed to \(E=(20 \sin 2000 t)\ V,\) the new power factor of the circuit will be _______.

  1. A \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E=25 \sin (1000 t) \) \( \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) LR circuit \( \text { Initially } \frac{R}{\omega_1 L}=\frac{1}{\tan \theta}=\frac{1}{\tan 45^{\circ}}= \) \( X_L=\omega_1 L \) \( \omega_2=2 \omega_1 \text {, given } \)…
