The coil of a moving iron instrument has a resistance of 500 Ω and an inductance of 1 H. It reads 250 V when a 250 V dc is applied. If series resistance is 2000 Ω, its reading when fed by 250 V, 50 Hz ac will be
260 V
252 V
250 V
248 V

Clearly explained.

D.C = V/R = 250/(2000+500) = 0.1A.

A.C = V/Z = 250/sqrt(R^2+(XL)^2) = 250/sqrt(2500^2+(2*3.14*50*1)^2) = 0.09922A

I am not understanding this, Please explain it clearly to get it.

In AC we have to consider the effect of both resistance and reactance (i.e Xl = 2 pi f l) f = 50, l = 1.

To calculate current I through meter I = voltage/ impedance.
Impedance in AC only = R + j Xl ohms.

Here,
jxL = jwL = J*2*(22/7)*50*1 = J2200/7 = J314.2.
NOW PUT R+JJWL VALUE FOR CURRENT CALCULATION.

Here, We need to find the Impedance. X=πr^2+XL^2.

For 250 V DC current is 0.1 A.
But for the same voltage in AC i.e 250 V AC current is 0.9922 A.
Looking from the other side, for 0.1 A reading is 250 V.
for 0.9922 A we need to find the reading!!
so,
0.9922/0.1*250 = 248 V.

V/(R+jXl).
250/(2500+j (2πfl)).
250/(2500+j 314.159).

Inductance only makes a contribution in AC circuits.Hence it is neglected in the DC calculation.

@Shikha, @Deepshikha: R value taken in both cases is same (2000+500=2500).

How we calculate i taking j?

Please help me.

Jitedra Kumar Gupta said:   8 years ago
I have a doubt.

As this is an moving iron type instrument so, T (torque)must be proportional to (current)^2.

So, if I1 and I2 are currents dor AC and DC.
THEN,
The answer would come as 246.

Can someone please explain?
