In the circuit shown in figure neglecting source resistance the voltmeter and ammeter reading will respectively, will be:

Correct answer: D. 0V, 8A

  • A. 0V, 3A
  • B. 150V, 3A
  • C. 150V, 6A
  • D. 0V, 8A

Explanation

The voltage and are equal and opposite so voltmeter reading will be zero.Given R = 30 Ω, XL = Xc = 25 ΩThe current I isI = V / √[ R² + (XL − Xc)² ]Since XL = Xc, the expression simplifies toI = V / RSubstituting the valuesI = 240 / 30 = 8

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
