An AC ammeter is used to measure the current in a circuit. When a given direct current passes through the circuit, the ac ammeter reads 6 A. When another alternating current passes through the circuit, the AC ammeter reads 8 A. Then the reading of this ammeter if DC and AC flow through the circuit simultaneously is:
1. A
2. 14 A
3. 10 A
4. 15 A
A direct current of \(5~ A\) is superimposed on an alternating current \(I=10sin ~\omega t\) flowing through a wire. The effective value of the resulting current will be:
1. | \(15/2~A\) | 2. | \(5 \sqrt{3}~A\) |
3. | \(5 \sqrt{5}~A\) | 4. | \(15~A\) |
An ideal resistance R, ideal inductance L, ideal capacitance C, and AC voltmeters are connected to an AC source as shown. At resonance:
1. | Reading in \(V_3\) = Reading in \(V_1\) |
2. | Reading in \(V_1\) = Reading in \(V_2\) |
3. | Reading in \(V_2\) = Reading in \(V_4\) |
4. | Reading in \(V_2\) = Reading in \(V_3\) |
In an L-C-R series AC circuit, the voltage across each of the components - L, C and R is 50 V. The voltage across the L-R combination will be:
1. 50 V
2. \(50 \sqrt{2} ~V\)
3. 100 V
4. 0 V
An AC voltage source is connected to a series \(LCR\) circuit. When \(L\) is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\). If \(C\) is instead removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) between current and voltage. The power factor of the circuit is:
1. \(0.5\)
2. \(1.0\)
3. \(-1.0\)
4. zero
In the transformer shown in the figure, the ratio of the number of turns of the primary to the secondary is N1/N2=1/50. If a voltage source of 10 V is connected across the primary, then the induced current through the load of 10 kΩ in the secondary is:
1. \(\frac{1}{20}~A\)
2. zero
3. \(\frac{1}{10}~A\)
4. \(\frac{1}{5}~A\)

The circuit is in a steady state when the key is at position 1. If the switch is changed from position 1 to position 2, then the steady current in the circuit will be:

2. \(E_o \over 3R\)
3. \(E_o \over 2R\)
4. \(E_o \over 4R\)
