    An electric bulb has a rated power of 50 W s: 100 V. If it is used on an AC source 200 V 50 Hz, a choke has to be used in series with is This choke should have an inductance of

    A)  0.1 mH

    B)  1 mH

    C)  0.1 H                    

    D)  1.1 H

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Resistance of bulb                 \[R=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{P}=\frac{{{(100)}^{2}}}{50}\]                 \[=200\,\,\Omega \] Current through bulb \[(I)=\frac{V}{R}\]                                                 \[=\frac{100}{200}=0.5\,A\] In a circuit containing inductive reactance \[({{X}_{L}})\] and resistance (R), impedance (Z) of the circuit is                 \[Z=\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{\omega }^{2}}{{L}^{2}}}\]                 ... (i) Here,     \[Z=\frac{200}{0.5}=400\,\,\Omega \] Now      \[X_{L}^{2}={{Z}^{2}}-{{R}^{2}}\]                                 \[={{(400)}^{2}}-{{(200)}^{2}}\]                 \[{{(2\pi fL)}^{2}}=12\times {{10}^{4}}\]                 \[L=\frac{2\,\sqrt{3}\times 100}{2\pi \times 50}\]                 \[=\frac{2\,\sqrt{3}}{\pi }=1.1\,H\]
