In a series $L-C-R$ circuit,the frequency of a $10 \, V$ $a.c.$ voltage source is adjusted in such a fashion that the reactance of the inductor measures $15 \, \Omega$ and that of the capacitor $11 \, \Omega$. If $R = 3 \, \Omega$,the potential difference across the series combination of $L$ and $C$ will be.....$V$.

If $A$ and $B$ are identical bulbs,which bulb glows brighter?

An ideal choke draws a current of $8 \, A$ when connected to an $AC$ supply of $100 \, V, 50 \, Hz$. $A$ pure resistor draws a current of $10 \, A$ when connected to the same source. The ideal choke and the resistor are connected in series and then connected to the $AC$ source of $150 \, V, 40 \, Hz$. The current in the circuit becomes

An $AC$ source of angular frequency $\omega$ is connected across a resistor $R$ and a capacitor $C$ in series. The current registered is $I$. If the frequency of the source is changed to $\omega/3$ (maintaining the same voltage),the current in the circuit is found to be halved. Calculate the ratio of reactance to resistance at the original frequency $\omega$.

$A$ coil of inductance $0.50 \; H$ and resistance $100 \; \Omega$ is connected to a $240 \; V, 50 \; Hz$ $AC$ supply.
$(a)$ What is the maximum current in the coil?
$(b)$ What is the time lag between the voltage maximum and the current maximum?

$A$ capacitor of $\frac{2.5}{\pi} \mu F$ and a resistor of $3000 \, \Omega$ are connected in series with a $200 \, V, 50 \, Hz$ $AC$ source. What are the power factor and the power dissipated,respectively?
