An inductor of 0.5 mH, a capacitor of 200 μF and a resistor of 2 Ω are connected in series with a 220 V ac source. If the current is in phase with the emf, the frequency of ac source will be ______ × 102 Hz
An inductor of 0.5 mH, a capacitor of 200 μF and a resistor of 2 Ω are connected in series with a 220 V ac source. If the current is in phase with the emf, the frequency of ac source will be ______ × 102 Hz
Correct Answer: 5
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is 5
\(ωL = \frac{1}{ωC}\)
\(⇒ ω = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5 × 10^{-4} × 2 × 10^{-4}}}\)
\(⇒ ω = \frac{104}{\sqrt{10}} rad/s\)
\(⇒ ƒ = \frac{1}{2π} × \frac{104}{\sqrt{10}} Hz\)
\(⇒ ƒ ≃ 500 Hz\)
Therefore , the frequency of ac source will be 5 × 102 Hz

Concepts Used:
Dimensional Analysis
Dimensional Analysis is a process which helps verify any formula by the using the principle of homogeneity. Basically dimensions of each term of a dimensional equation on both sides should be the same.
Limitation of Dimensional Analysis: Dimensional analysis does not check for the correctness of value of constants in an equation.
Using Dimensional Analysis to check the correctness of the equation
Let us understand this with an example:
Suppose we don’t know the correct formula relation between speed, distance and time,
We don’t know whether
(i) Speed = Distance/Time is correct or
(ii) Speed =Time/Distance.
Now, we can use dimensional analysis to check whether this equation is correct or not.
By reducing both sides of the equation in its fundamental units form, we get
(i) [L][T]-¹ = [L] / [T] (Right)
(ii) [L][T]-¹ = [T] / [L] (Wrong)
From the above example it is evident that the dimensional formula establishes the correctness of an equation.
