JEE Physics 2023 Question with Solution
Answer
Correct answer:242
Step-by-step solution
Standard Method
Given: , , , and source voltage .
Find: The value for which the current amplitude is written as , so the required answer is the number inside the square root.
When current is in phase with emf in a series RLC circuit, the circuit is at resonance. Therefore,
and the impedance becomes purely resistive.
So,
The solution gives the current as
Hence the current amplitude is
Therefore, the required value is .
Using resonance condition
Given: A series RLC circuit with current in phase with emf.
Find: The number such that current amplitude is A.
For an AC circuit, the reactances are
and
Since current is in phase with the emf,
Therefore the net reactance is zero, so the impedance is only resistance:
Then the current value obtained from the source voltage is
Using the extracted solution conclusion, the amplitude is written as
Thus, .
Common mistakes
Using the full RLC impedance formula even after noticing that current is in phase with emf. At resonance, net reactance is zero, so use instead.
Confusing rms current with current amplitude. The amplitude is related by , so is not the final required form here.
Reading the asked variable incorrectly. The question expresses current as but asks for the value of in the provided text. Follow the solution conclusion and report the number under the root, which is .
