c) ip = V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(ωt-θ+tan-1(ωL/R))
d) ip = V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(ωt-θ+tan-1(ωL/R))

Answer: b
Explanation: The characteristic equation consists of two parts, viz. complementary function and particular integral. The particular integral is ip = V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(ωt+θ-tan-1(ωL/R)).

3. The value of ‘c’ in complementary function of ‘i’ is?
a) c = -V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(θ+tan-1(ωL/R))
b) c = -V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(θ-tan-1(ωL/R))
c) c = V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(θ+tan-1(ωL/R))
d) c = V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(θ-tan-1(ωL/R))
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Since the inductor does not allow sudden changes in currents, at t = 0, i = 0. So, c = -V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(θ-tan-1(ωL/R)).

5. In the circuit shown below, the switch is closed at t = 0, applied voltage is v (t) = 100cos (103t+π/2), resistance R = 20Ω and inductance L = 0.1H. The complementary function of the solution of ‘i’ is?
The complementary function of the solution of ‘i’ is ic = ce-200t
a) ic = ce-100t
b) ic = ce100t
c) ic = ce-200t
d) ic = ce200t
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: By applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law to the circuit, we have 20i+0.1di/dt=100cos⁡(103 t+π/2) => (D+200)i=1000cos⁡(1000t+π/2). The complementary function is ic = ce-200t.

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Assuming particular integral as ip = A cos (ωt + θ) + B sin(ωt + θ). We get ip = V/√(R2+(ωL)2) cos⁡(ωt+θ-tan-1(ωL/R)) where ω = 1000 rad/sec, V = 100V, θ = π/2, L = 0.1H, R = 20Ω. On substituting, we get ip = 0.98cos⁡(1000t+π/2-78.6o).
