Question
The variation of inductive reactance (XL) of an inductor with the frequency (f) of the ac source of 100 V and variable frequency is shown in fig.
- Calculate the self-inductance of the inductor.
- When this inductor is used in series with a capacitor of unknown value and a resistor of 10 Ω at 300 s–1, maximum power dissipation occurs in the circuit. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor.

Solution 1
i. We know that XL = ωL and ω = 2π f
Where,
f = frequency in Hz
So, L = `X_L/(2 pi f)`
= `(20)/(2 pi(100))`
= `(40)/(2pi (200))`
= `(60)/(2pi(300))`
= 31.84 × 10−3
≈ 32 mH
ii. We know that power dissipation is maximum when,
XL = XC
⇒ ωL = `1/(omegaC)`
⇒ `C = 1/(omega^2L)`
⇒ C = `1/(4 pi^2 f^2 L)`
= `1/(4 xx 3.14 xx 3.14 xx 300 xx 300 xx 32 xx 10^-3)`
= 8.8 μF
Solution 2
i. Given: From graph f = 100 Hz
XL = 20 Ω
Inductive reactance (XL) = 2π f L
So,
L = `X_L/(2 pi f)`
= `(20)/(2 pi xx 100)`
= 0.032 H
= 32 mH
ii. Given: f = 300 s−1
L = 0.032H
We know that power dissipation is maximum when,
2π f L = `1/(2 pi f C)`
2π × 300 × 0.032 = `1/(2 pi xx 300 xx C)`
∴ C = 8.8 × 10−6 F
= 8.8 μF

| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
