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

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?

It should be 250/(2500+j314) to get 0.09922.

xl=j314.16=2πfl.
=2 * 3.14 * 50 * 1 = 314.
250/(2500+314) = 0.08884.

But all of you said 0.09922.
Can anyone explain?

Find first fall Idc.
Find Iac.
Reading = iac/idc * 250.

I've calculated the 2 * pi * f * L and I got 0.8883.

I didn't get the 0.09922. why?

I can't understood the measuring of ac current. Why you put j314.16?

Surya said:   9 years ago
Ac impedance is Z = R + jXl, so here j314.16 = 2 * pi * 50 * 1 as given inductance is 1H.

Why not considered the 2000 ohm resistance for dc current?

Shikha said:   9 years ago
Inductance value is added in dc it's right but why resistance value is different?

Rahul(power engineer) said:   9 years ago
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 = voltag/ impedance.
Impedance in AC only = R + j Xl ohms.
