The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then d...

Though the image size is larger than the object, the angular size of the image is equivalent to the angular size of the object. A magnifying glass supports one seeing the objects closer than the least distance of dist...

Why is choke coil needed in the use of fluorescent tubes with ac mains? Why can we not use an ordinary resistor instead of the choke coil?

As the choke coil reduces the voltage across the tube without wasting much power, it is used in the fluorescent tubes with ac mains. An ordinary resistor cannot be used instead of choke coil because it wastes power in...

A choke coil in series with a lamp is connected to a dc line. The lamp is seen to shine brightly. Insertion of an iron core in the choke causes no change in the...

When an iron core is inserted in the choke coil (which is in series with a lamp connected to an ac line), the lamp will glow dimly. This is because the choke coil and the iron core increase the impedance of the cir...

An applied voltage signal consists of a superposition of a dc voltage and an ac voltage of high frequency. The circuit consists of an inductor and a capacitor i...

The dc signal will appear across capacitor C because for dc signals, the impedance of an inductor L is negligible while the impedance of a capacitor C  is very high (almost infinite).Therefore, a dc signal appears acr...

A capacitor is used in the primary circuit of an induction coil.

Yes, a capacitor is used in the primary circuit of an induction coil. This is because, when the circuit is broken, a high induced voltage is used to charge the capacitor to avoid sparks.

In any ac circuit, is the applied instantaneous voltage equal to the algebraic sum of the instantaneous voltages across the series elements of the circuit? Is t...

Yes, in any ac circuit, the applied instantaneous voltage is equal to the algebraic sum of the instantaneous voltages across the series elements of the circuit. The same is not true for rms voltage because voltages ac...

What is the average power transferred to the inductor?

Average power transferred to the inductor is zero as actual voltage leads the current by π/2

If a resistor is inserted in the circuit, how much energy is eventually dissipated as heat?

If a resistor is included in the circuit, then the total initial energy gets dissipated as heat energy in the circuit. The LC oscillation gets damped due to the resistance.

What is the net power consumed over a full cycle?

It is known that,Power = V X IPower = 220 x 2.2 Power = 484 W Therefore, the net power consumed over a full cycle is 484 W

What is electric potential?

Electric potential at a point in an electric field is the amount of work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to the point.   (i) Electric potential is a scalar quantity.(ii) S.I. unit: Volt(V).  (ii...
