7.Alternating Current
medium
$A$ $20\,volts$ $ac$ is applied to a circuit consisting of a resistance and a coil with negligible resistance. If the voltage across the resistance is $12\, V$, the voltage across the coil is.....$volts$
A
$16 $
B
$10$
C
$8$
D
$6$
Solution
(a) The voltage across a $L-R$ combination is given by
${V^2} = V_R^2 + V_L^2$
${V_L} = \sqrt {{V^2} – V_R^2} = \sqrt {400 – 144} = \sqrt {256} = 16\,\,volt.$
