When a 60 mH inductor and a resistor are connected in series with an AC voltage source, the voltage leads the current by 60^(@). If the inductor is replaced by a 0.5 mu F capacitor, the voltage lags behind the current by 30^(@). What is the frequency of the AC supply ?

Answer»

`(1)/(2pi)xx10^(4)Hz`
`(1)/(pi)xx10^(4)Hz`
`(3)/(2pi)xx10^(4)Hz`
`(1)/(2pi)xx10^(8)Hz`

Solution :
Now,`tan 60^(@)=(X_(L))/(R )=(omega L)/(R ) ""`….(i)
Again, `tan 30^(@)=(X_(C ))/(R )=(1)/(omega CR)`
Now, from EQN. (i) and (ii), we get
`(tan 60^(@))/(tan 30^(@))=(omega L)/(R )xx (1)/((1)/(omega CR))=omega^(2)LC`
`RARR (sqrt(3))/(1//sqrt(3))=omega^(2)xx 60xx10^(-3)xx0.5xx10^(-6)rArr omega = 10^(4)`
As `omega = 2pi upsilon`
or `2pi upsilon=10^(4)rArr upsilon = (10^(4))/(2pi)Hz`
