An $$ac$$ voltage is applied to a resistance $$R$$ and an inductor $$L$$ in series. If $$R$$ and the inductive reactance are both equal to $$3\Omega ,$$ the phase difference between the applied voltage and the current in the circuit is
A.
$$\frac{\pi }{6}$$
B.
$$\frac{\pi }{4}$$
C.
$$\frac{\pi }{2}$$
D.
zero
Answer :
$$\frac{\pi }{4}$$
Solution :
The phase difference $$\phi $$ is given by
$$\tan \phi = \frac{{{X_L}}}{R} = \frac{3}{3} = 1 \Rightarrow \phi = \frac{\pi }{4}.$$

When an $$AC$$ source of emf $$e = {E_0}\sin \left( {100t} \right)$$ is connected across a circuit, the phase difference between the emf $$e$$ and the current $$i$$ in the circuit is observed to be $$\frac{\pi }{4},$$ as shown in the diagram. If the circuit consists possibly only of $$R - C$$ or $$R - L$$ or $$L - C$$ in series, find the relationship between the two elements
An $$AC$$ voltage source of variable angular frequency $$\omega $$ and fixed amplitude $${V_0}$$ is connected in series with a capacitance $$C$$ and an electric bulb of resistance $$R$$ (inductance zero). When $$\omega $$ is increase
In a transformer, number of turns in the primary coil are 140
and that in the secondary coil are 280. If current in primary coil is $$4A,$$ then that in the secondary coil is
