Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current question from JEE Main 2024 (4 Apr, Shift 2)

Q39JEE Main 2024 · 4 APR · SHIFT 2Medium

Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

Match List I with List II

Figure

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

LIST ILIST II
A.Purely capacitive circuitI.
B.Purely inductive circuitII.
C.LCR series at resonanceIII.
Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Purely capacitive: current leads voltage by 90∘90^\circ.
  2. Purely inductive: voltage leads current by 90∘90^\circ, as in graph IV, so B-IV.
  3. LCR at resonance: VV and II in phase (ϕ=0\phi=0).
  4. LCR series in general: VV and II differ by some angle ϕ\phi with tan⁡ϕ=(XL−XC)/R\tan\phi=(X_L-X_C)/R.
  5. So the answer is (b) A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III.
