(C) the low resistance of L (D) the high voltage of the battery B
Q.36 A circuit has three elements, a resistance of 11W, a coil of inductive resistance 120W and a capacitive
reactance of 120W in series and connected to an A.C. source of 110 V, 60 Hz. Which of the three
elements have minimum potential difference?
(A) Resistance (B) Capacitance
(C) Inductor (D) All will have equal potential difference
Q.37 The reactance of a circuit is zero. It is possible that the circuit contains :

Q.38 In a series R-L-C circuit, the frequency of the source is half of the resonance frequency. The nature of
the circuit will be
(A) capacitive (B) inductive (C) purely resistive (D) data insufficient
Q.39 An a.c. source of voltage V and of frequency 50 Hz is connected to an inductor of 2H and negligible
resistance. A current of r.m.s. value I flows in the coil. When the frequency of the voltage is changed to
400 Hz keeping the magnitude of V the same, the current is now
(A) 8I in phase with V (B) 4I and leading by 90° from V
(C) I/4 and lagging by 90° from V (D) I/8 and lagging by 90° from V
