CASE BASED QUESTIONS 4 MARKS
1. Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same :
At substations, transformers lower the voltage of incoming power to make it acceptable for high-
volume delivery to nearby end-users. Electricity is sent at extremely high voltage because it limits
so-called line losses. Very good conductors of electricity also offer some resistance and this
resistance becomes considerable over long distances causing considerable loss.
At generating station, normally voltage is stepped up to around thousands of volts. Power losses
increase with the square of current. Therefore, keeping voltage high current becomes low and the loss
is minimized. Another option of minimizing loss is the use of wires of super-conducting material.
Super-conducting materials are capable of conducting without resistance, they must be kept
extremely cold, nearly absolute zero, and this requirement makes standard super-conducting
materials impractical to use. However, recent advances in super-conducting materials have decreased
cooling requirement. In Germany recently 1 km super-conducting cables have been installed
connecting the generating station and the destination. It has eliminated the line loss and the cable is
capable of sending five times more electricity than conventional cable.

1 Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same :
Turning a radio set: In essence the simplest tuned radio frequency receiver is a simple crystal set.
Desired frequency is tuned by a tuned coil / capacitor combination, and then the signal is presented to
a simple crystal or diode detector where the amplitude modulated signal, is demodulated. This is then
passed straight to the headphones or speaker. In radio set there is an LC oscillator comprising of a
variable capacitor (or sometimes a variable coupling coil), with a knob on the front panel to tune the
receiver.
Capacitor used in old radio sets is gang capacitor. It consists of two sets of parallel circular plates one
of which can rotate manually by means of a knob. The rotation causes overlapping areas of plates to
change, thus changing its capacitance. Air gap between plates acts as dielectric. The capacitor has to
be tuned in tandem corresponding to the frequency of a station so the LC combination of the radio set
resonates at the frequency of the desired station.
When capacitive reactance (XC) is equal to the inductive reactance (XL), then the resonance occurs and
1
the resonant frequency is given by 𝜔0 = current amplitude becomes maximum at the resonant
√𝐿𝐶
frequency. It is important to note that resonance phenomenon is exhibited by a circuit only if both L
𝑉
and C cancel each other and current amplitude is 𝑅𝑚 , the total source voltage appearing across R.

2 A device ‘X’ is connected to an ac source V = V0 sin ωt. The variation of voltage, current and power
in one cycle is shown in the following graph:
(a) Identify the device ‘X’.
(b) Which of the curves A, B and C represent the voltage, current and the power consumed in the
circuit? Justify your answer.
(c) How does its impedance vary with frequency of the ac source? Show graphically.
(d) Obtain an expression for the current in the circuit and its phase relation with ac voltage.
3 (a)A voltage V = V0 sin ωt is applied to a series LCR circuit. Derive the expression for the average
power dissipated over a cycle.
(b) A lamp is connected in series with a capacitor. Predict your observations when the system is
connected first across a d.c. and then an a.c. source. What happens in each case if the capacitance of
the capacitor is reduced?
4 An a.c. generator consist of a coil of 50 turns, area 2.5m2 rotating at an angular speed of 60rad/s in
uniform magnetic field of B=0.3T
between two fixed pole pieces. Given R=500Ω.
Find the maximum current drawn from the generator?
What will be the orientation of the coil with respect to B to have max and zero magnetic flux?
Would the generator work if the coils were stationary and instead the pole pieces rotated together with
the same speed?
Alternating current is easier to generate and transmitting alternating current leads alternating current
leads to lower energy losses than direct current over distances more than a few metres. Peak current
value of AC is more than DC.
2. Electric transformers are basically machines that transfer electricity from one circuit to another by
changing the levels in voltage but not in frequency. They are designed to use alternating current and
thus the change in supply voltage is influenced by the change in supply current
3. (b) Is repelled by the loop A
[Explanation: if the current in loop A rises with time, the magnetic flux in loop B rises as well. Loop
– B will be repelled by loop –A according to Lenz’s law.]
4. For constant electric power, higher the voltage, lower is the current (as P=IV) through the wire. As
power loss due to Joule's heating is proportional to I2, for a small current, power loss is also small. So,
power is transmitted over long distances at high voltage to minimize power loses due to Joule's heating.
5. b) 86mA
Given P = 19w
V = 220v
We know, Power (P) = VI
𝑃
So, I = 𝑉
I = 19/220 = 0.086A
So the New bulb will consume 86mA current.
6. Lights and fans of trains are specially designed so that it works at 110V DC which is installed
beneath every coach. It gives better illumination and is being provided in the coaches in place of TL
lamps or self-generating trains. On non AC BG coaches 400 mm sweep carriage fans are used where
system voltage is 110 DC.
7. D) To step down the voltage
When electricity is supplied from substation to locality it is always at high voltage that can
damage our electric equipment if supplied directly to our home. Hence a step down transformer is
used in our locality to lower the voltage to a range of 220-240V which is suitable for home use.
8. C) Birds usually stand on single live wire
Birds usually stand on single live wire and so electric current doesn't flow through the bird. When a
bird stands on a high voltage wire, there is no potential difference between the legs of the bird as it
stands in a single wire and hence no current passes through it.
9. d) Closed loops won’t be formed with foreign particles and damage will be minimum.
As overhead lines are normally not insulated, it's important to make them as high as possible to
ensure no foreign particles (like Tree, Truck, etc.) get too close to them else it will form a closed loop
which may damage both property and life.
10. a) Excess current was flowing in the circuit
[As the live wire is directly connected to the appliance, as soon as the person touches it, the circuit
gets completed through ground and hence he gets a shock.]
11. (d) average value of A. C for complete cycle is zero
12. (b) it is more economical due to less power loss
13. (b) 50 c/s
14. (a) DC
15. (b)The bulb will glow dimmer because when a soft iron core is introduced in the solenoid then, its
inductive reactance (XL = ωL) will increase, as a result of which the current through the bulb
decreases.
16. No as it works on the principle of Mutual Induction.
17. Current through pure L or Pure C which consumes no power for its maintenance in the circuit is
known as Wattless current.
18. 900
19. One.
20. Yes
21. Ir.m.s= I0 /√2
22.
27. A wattless current is that which does not dissipate power although there is a flow of current in the
circuit. Current flowing in a purely inductive or purely capacitive or a LC circuit is a wattless current.
28.
At maximum current means at resonance,
XL=XC ,Z=R
∴ Power factor =cosϕ=Z/R=1
Explanation: An inductor and capacitors are connected to one another in a parallel resonant circuit.
Additionally, a generator of alternating current is connected to this concurrent combination of
attributes. High resistance in the parallel resonant circuitry has the impact of causing the circuitry to
deny the wavelength of the incoming ac voltage that is identical to the resonant frequency.
This occurs when the wavelength of the input ac electrical equals the resonant frequency. Due to the
fact that this attribute may be used to both enable and disable the passage of current at a certain
frequency across a circuitry, this circuit is utilized as a rejector loop.
37. B)1.57 A
Capacitance, C = 50 μF = 50 x 10-6 F
rms voltage, Vrms = 100 V
Frequency of alternating supply, f = 50 Hz
Capacitive reactance, XC = 1/2πfC = 1/(2 x 3.14 x 50 x 50 x 10-6) = 63.69 ohm
Explanation: When an alternating current flows through an electrical system, a phase mismatch
between the voltage and stream develops. This phase shift is contingent upon the sort of load linked
to the circuit. This phase difference is reflected by the power factor.
Consequently, the active power is only the cosine of the ratio between volts and flow. If an
alternating circuit consists of a single pure resistor, it is a completely resistive connection. No matter
whether the form of energy (AC or DC) is provided to a completely resistive circuitry, the current
will always move in phase with the input signal since the resistor exhibits the same properties for
both types of supply.

1 No both the wires are different. Electric current are transmitted through conducting wires in
which charge carriers can move from one end to another. Whereas communication signals are
transmitted through optical fiber which follows Total Internal Reflection phenomena.
2 It is an electrical device that is used to provide a stable voltage output to a load at its output terminals
irrespective of any variations in the input i.e incoming supply. Both analogue and digital automatic
voltage stabilizers are used in offices or at home.
These are used to prevent damage of electric equipment (like fridge, AC, TV, etc.) due to
sudden variation of variable voltage supply.
3 A dynamo is a type of electrical generator that is used to create a conducting current with the
help of a commutator. A dynamo used the laws of electromagnetism to create a direct
conducting current or electric power from the rotation of the coil. These are used for
generating power at various places where mechanical energy is converted into electrical
energy.

5 (i) The generation of AC is more economical than DC.
(ii) Alternating voltage can be stepped up or stepped down as per requirement during transmission
from power generating station to the consumer.
(iii) Alternating current in a circuit can be controlled by using wattless devices like the choke coil.
(iv) Alternating voltages can be transmitted from one place to another, with much lower energy loss
in the transmission line.
6 When output voltage increases, the output current automatically decreases to keep the power same.
Thus, there is no violation of conservation of energy in a step up transformer.
7 On decreasing the frequency of AC source, reactance, xc=1/ωC will increase, which will lead to
decrease in conduction current. In this case
ID = IC
Hence, displacement current will decrease.
8 (i) It is based on the principle of “mutual induction”.
(ii) Two factors are:
10 When a magnet is moved in the given direction, the north pole of the magnet is moved away from the
coil AB. Therefore, from Lenz law, the face of coil AB nearest to the North-pole will act like a south
pole.
So, the current in coil AB will flow in a clockwise direction when seen from the B-side of the coil.
Therefore, the direction of current in coil AB is from A to B.
When the magnet is moved, the south pole of the magnet is moved towards the coil CD. Therefore, to
oppose the induced emf, the face of the coil near the South-pole will act as South-pole.
So, the current in the coil CD will flow in anti-clockwise direction when seen from the D-side of the
coil. Therefore, the direction of current in coil CD is D to C.

radio or TV station is transmitted a programme at frequency f, then waves produce alternating
voltage of frequency f, in areal, due to which an emf of same frequency is induced in LC circuit,
when capacitor C in circuit is varied then for a particular value of capacitance C, f = 1 /2π√𝐿𝐶 , the
resonance occurs and maximum current flows in the circuit; so, the radio or TV gets tunned.

ANSWERS FOR CBQ ( 4 MARKS)
1. I) d) none of the above
[At power plant/ a step-up transformer increases the voltage of generated power by
thousands of volts, so that it can be sent of long distance through high-voltage
transmission power line. At substations, step-down transformers lower the voltage of
incoming power to make it acceptable for high volume delivery to nearby end- users.]
II) d) All of the above
[Super-conducting materials are capable of conducting without resistance. So, this
eliminates the line loss and the cable is capable of sending more electricity than
conventional cable. Using super-conducting cables, one can get rid of the need of costly
transformers]
III) b) since current decreases with increase with voltage
[At generating station, normally voltage is stepped up to around thousands of volts. Power
losses increase with the square of current. Therefore, keeping voltage high, current
becomes low and the loss is minimized]
IV) a) convection
[Transformers generate waste heat when they are in operation and oil is the coolant of choice. It
transfers the heat through convection to the transformer housing.]

It is known that,
At resonance, angular frequency of the source for the given LCR series circuit is ωr=1/√LC
⇒ωr=1/√(3×27×10−6)
⇒Q=111.11×37.4=45.0446
To improve the sharpness of the resonance by reducing ‘full width at half maximum’ by a factor of
2without changing ωr , reduce the resistance to half.
⇒R=7.42=3.7Ω
Therefore, required resistance is 3.7Ω.

(d) I = I0 sin (ωt + π/2 ). Current leads the voltage, in phase, by π/2
(ii) In this case, when connected to a.c. source, the bulb will glow with the same brightness.
When the capacity of capacitor is reduced, it will have no appreciable effect when connected to d.c.
source.
However, in case when connected to a.c. source, capacitance is reduced, hence
χc capactive reactance will increase and thus the brightness of bulb will reduce.
