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

    Current through the bulb\[(I)=\frac{P}{V}\] \[=\frac{50}{100}=0.5\,A\] Impedance (Z) of the circuit \[=\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{\omega }^{2}}{{L}^{2}}}\]                   ?(i) Inductive reactance\[({{X}_{L}})\] \[=\omega L=2\pi f.\,L=100\,\pi \,L\] Resistance of bulb\[(R)=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{P}=\frac{{{(100)}^{2}}}{50}=200\,\Omega \] Impedance of the circuit \[(Z)=\frac{200}{0.5}=400\,\Omega \] Now, \[X_{L}^{2}={{Z}^{2}}-{{R}^{2}}\] \[={{(400)}^{2}}-{{(200)}^{2}}=12\times {{10}^{4}}\] \[{{(100\pi L)}^{2}}=12\times {{10}^{4}}\] \[L=\frac{\sqrt{12\times {{10}^{4}}}}{100\,\pi }=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\pi }=1.1\,H.\]
