B. The voltage across element is in proportion to it's resistance value
C. The equivalent resistance is greater than any one of the resistors
D. The current through any one element is less than the source current
A. Apparent power is more than actual power
B. Reactive power is more than apparent power
C. Actual power is more than reactive power
D. Reactive power is more than actual power
The transient currents are associated with the
A. Changes in the stored energy in the inductors and capacitors
B. Impedance of the circuit
C. Applied voltage to the circuit
D. Resistance of the circuit
The inductance of a coil can be increased by
A. Increasing core length
B. Decreasing the number of turns
C. Decreasing the diameter of the former
D. Choosing core material having high relative permeability
Reactance of a capacitor is
XC=1/2πfC
Given that XC1 = 20Ω at 50 Hz
Then XC2 at 100 Hz will be
XC1 / XC2=(1/2πf1C)/(1 / 2πf2C)
by simplyfying you will get 10 .
