$A$ choke coil is preferred to a $Rheostat$ in $AC$ circuits because:

  • A
    It consumes almost zero power
  • B
    It increases current
  • C
    It increases power
  • D
    It increases voltage

Three alternating voltage sources $V_1 = 3 \sin \omega t \text{ V}$,$V_2 = 5 \sin(\omega t + \phi_1) \text{ V}$,and $V_3 = 5 \sin(\omega t - \phi_2) \text{ V}$ are connected in series with a resistor $R = \sqrt{\frac{7}{3}} \, \Omega$ as shown in the figure (where $\phi_1 = 30^\circ$ and $\phi_2 = 127^\circ$). Find the peak current (in Ampere) through the resistor.

Assertion: Long distance power transmission is done at high voltage.
Reason: At high voltage supply, power losses are less.

An alternating power supply of $220 \,V$ is applied across a series circuit of resistance $10 \sqrt{3} \,\Omega$,capacitive reactance $40 \,\Omega$,and inductive reactance $30 \,\Omega$. The respective currents in the circuit for zero and infinite frequencies are

If $L, C$ and $R$ represent inductance,capacitance and resistance respectively,then which of the following does not represent the dimensions of frequency?

An $AC$ voltmeter connected between points $A$ and $B$ in the circuit below reads $36 \,V$. If it is connected between $A$ and $C$,the reading is $39 \,V$. The reading when it is connected between $B$ and $D$ is $25 \,V$. What is the reading when it is connected between $A$ and $D$? (Assume that the voltmeter reads true $rms$ voltage values and that the source generates a pure $AC$.)
