The diagram above illustrates an a.c.source of 50V(r.m.s.), \(\frac{100}{\pi}\)Hz connected in series with an inductor of inductance L and a resistor of resistance R. The current in the circuit is 2A and the p.d across L and R are 30V and 40V respectively. Calculate the power factor of the circuit

A.

1.33

B.

1.25

C.

0.80

D.

0.75

E.

0.60

Correct answer is C

cos\(\theta = \frac{R}{Z}\)

R = \(\frac{V}{I} = \frac{40}{2} = 20\)

Z² = R² + \(^X_L\)² = 20²  + 15²  = √625 = 25

cos \(\theta = \frac{R}{Z} = \frac{20}{25} = 0.8\)

A proton of charge 1.6 x 1019C is projected into a uniform magnetic field of flux density with a constant speed of 1.6 x 106ms-1, calculate the magnitude of the force exerted on it by the field

A.

0.0N

B.

2.0 x 10-21N

C.

1.3 x 10-17N

D.

5.1 x 10-14N

E.

2.3 x 1013N

Correct answer is C

F = Bqv = 5.0 x 10-5 x 1.6 x 10-19 x 106

= 1.3 x 10-17
