When an AC source of emf $e =E_0$ sin (100t) is connected
across a circuit, the phase difference between the emf e and
the current i in the circuit is observed to be $ \frac{\pi}{4}$ ahead, as
shown in the diagram. If the circuit consists possibly only of
R-C or R-L or L-C in series, find the relationship between the
two elements.
- $R= 1 k \Omega, \, C = 10 \mu F$
- $R= 1 k \Omega, \, C = 1 \mu F$
- $R= 1 k \Omega, \, L = 10 H$
- $R= 1 k \Omega, \, L = 1 H$
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
$tan \phi = \frac{X_c}{R} \, \, or \, \, tan \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\frac{1}{? C}}{R}$
$\therefore \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, ? CR = 1$
$As \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, ? 100 rad/s$
The product of C-R should be $\frac{1}{100}s^{-1}$
$\therefore$ Correct answer is (a).

The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

Phasor Diagrams
It is a representation of an oscillating quantity. In phase space with an angular velocity equal to the angular frequency of the original trigonometric function.
The projection of the phasor onto an axis at a specific time gives the value of the quantity at that time. Phasor diagrams are used in simple harmonic motion and RLC circuits which have elements that are out of phase with one another and thus difficult to work with in configuration space.

Three ways to represent phasors:
- Polar Form: Assume we have a phasor with an amplitude of Vm and a polar form that makes an angle with the horizontal axis. In the polar form we can write it as Vm.
- Rectangular Form: Any phasor can be shown as a complex number, such as A+iB.
- Exponential Form: It is represented as VmejΦ
