Important Questions on Alternating Current

In a circuit consisting of a capacitance and a generator with alternating emf, and are the voltage and current. Correct phasor diagram for such circuit is

In the given circuit the source has . Considering the inductor and capacitor to be ideal, what will be the current flowing through the circuit?




A capacitor of capacitance is connected to a source of alternating e.m.f. of frequency . What is the capacitive reactance?


A light bulb and an open coil inductor are connected to an ac source through a key as shown in figure. The switch is closed and after sometime, an iron rod is inserted into the interior of the inductor. What will be effect on glow of light bulb while inserting the rod. Give your answer with reason.
