(b)<\/strong> At the time of broken circuit of the induction coil, the induced high voltage charges the capacitor. This avoid sparking in the circuit.
(c)<\/strong> Inductive reactance, XL<\/sub> = 2\u03c0\u0192L For a.c., Xc<\/sub> \u03b1 \u0192

So, superimpose applied voltage will have all d.c. potential drop across Xc and will have most of a.c potential drop across XL.
(d)<\/strong> Inductor offer no hinderance to d.c. XL<\/sub> = 0, so insertion of iron core does not effect the d.c. current or brightness of lamp connected. But it definitely effect a.c. current as insertion of iron core increases L = \u03bcm nl thus increases XL<\/sub> (2\u03c0\u0192L). A.c. current in the E circuit reduces IP <\/sub>= <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.indcareer.com\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/latex-2021-09-21T161548.573.png\")

(e)<\/strong> A fluorescent tube is connected directly across a 220 V source, it would draw large current which may damage the filaments of the tube. So a choke coil which behaves as L-R circuit reduces the current to appropriate value, and that also with a lesser power loss.

A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300 V to a step down transformer with its primary winding having 4000 turns. What should be the number of turns in the secondary in order to get output power at 230 V?

At a hydroelectric power plant, the water pressure head is at a height of 300 m and the water flow available is 100 m3<\/sup>s-1<\/sup>. If the turbine generator efficiency is 60%, estimate the electric power available from the plant (g = 9.8 ms-2<\/sup>).
Solution:<\/strong>
Work done by liquid pressure = pressure x volume shifted power of flowing water

A small town with a demand of 800 kW of 1 electric power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5 Q per km. The town gets 1 power from the line through a 4000-220 V step- down transformer at a sub station in the town.
