A series combination of resistor (R), capacitor (C) is connected to an AC source of angular frequency `omega`. Keeping the voltage same, If the frequency is changed to `Omega/3`, the current becomes half of the original current. Then, the ratio of the capacitance reactance and resistance at the former frequency isA. `sqrt(0.6)`B. `sqrt(3)`C. `sqrt(2)`D. `sqrt(6)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A `I_(rms) = V_(rms)/(sqrt(R^(2) + (1/(omegaC))^(2)))`...........(i) `I_(rms)/2= V_(rms)/(sqrt(R^(2)+[(1/((omegaC)//3))]^(2)))= V_(rms)/sqrt(R^(2)+9/(omega^(2)C^(2)))`..........(ii) From eqs. (i) and (ii), we get `3R^(2)= 5/(omega^(2)C^(2))` `1/(omegaC//R)=sqrt(3/5)` or `X_(C)/R = sqrt(3/5)` or `X_(C)/R = sqrt(0.6)` |
