Passive Components Question 3:
Which of the following is not true for an inductor?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Passive Components Question 3 Detailed Solution
- An inductor stores energy because of the magnetic field inside it. The energy stored by an inductor carrying a current I is given by:
- An inductor does not allow a sudden change in current whereas a capacitor does not allow a sudden change in voltage across it.
- The inductive reactance for an inductor is XL = ωL. For DC input, i.e. for ω = 0 rad/sec, the resistance/reactance offered by the inductor will be 0 Ω. So an inductor acts as a short circuit to DC.
- The combination of an indicator and capacitor called an LC filter, is used to reduce the ripple in the voltage.
Energy =

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Passive Components Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The below equation shows the method to find the resistance:
Resistor Colour Coding uses colored bands to easily identify a resistor resistive value and its percentage tolerance. The resistor color code markings are always read one band at a time starting from the left to the right, with the larger width tolerance band oriented to the right side indicating its tolerance.
The value of the resistance is given in the form:
R = AB × C ± D%
Where,
‘A’ and ‘B’ indicates the first two significant figures of resistance (Ohms).
‘C’ indicates the decimal multiplies.
‘D’ indicates the tolerance in percentage.
The table for the resistor color code is given below:

Passive Components Question 6:
The equivalent resistance of a series-parallel circuit shown in the figure is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Passive Components Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Parallel Circuit:
When resistors are connected with several conducting paths between the sources of emf. In a parallel connection, the voltage remains the same across all resistors, but the current will be different.
Total resistance
Current in each resistor is different and can be calculated by using Ohm’s law
The total current is the sum of the three separate currents
When two resistors ‘R1’ and ‘R2’ are in parallel connection then their equivalent resistance is given by
Series Circuit:
When resistors are connected with only one conducting path they are said to be connected in series. The same current flows through all resistances but the voltage drop will be different and proportional to the resistance.
The total resistance in a series circuit is given as
Req = R1 + R2 + R3
In a series connection, the resistances are connected end-to-end
When two resistors ‘R1’ and ‘R2’ are connected in series connection, then their equivalent resistance is given by
Req = R1 + R2
Calculation:
Given that 12 Ω and 24 Ω is connected in parallel
Equivalent resistance
∴ Total Resistance between A and B

The resistance of a copper wire decreases when ________ increases
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Passive Components Question 7 Detailed Solution
The resistance of a copper wire decreases when the diameter increases.
Explanation:
The resistance of copper is inversely proportional to the diameter of the wire hence when diameter decreases the resistance of a copper wire increases.
And also copper has a positive temperature coefficient of resistance i.e. as temperature increases resistance increases.
Effect of temperature on resistance of different material:
Conductor: When the temperature of conducting material increases, the resistance of that particular material increases.
Insulator: When the temperature of the material increases, the resistance of that particular material decreases.
Semiconductor: When the temperature of the material increases, the resistance of that particular material decreases.
Carbon is a non-metal, semiconductor and its resistance decreases with an increase in temperature.
Constantan is a Nickel-Copper based alloy wire that has a high resistivity and is mainly used for thermocouples and electrical resistance heating. It contains 60% of nickel and 40%, copper. It has a constant resistivity over a wide range of temperatures.
Silver and copper are metal conductorwhich has a positive temperature coefficient which causes an increase in resistance due to an increase in temperature.
Passive Components Question 8:
What is the reactance value of a 1μF capacitor in a DC circuit?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Passive Components Question 8 Detailed Solution
The capacitive reactance is given by:
f = Frequency of the voltage/current applied across the capacitor.
C = Capacitance value
For DC:
A DC signal is a zero frequency signal, i.e. f = 0 Hz
XC for f = 0 will be:
Note: A capacitor passes AC signals and blocks DC signals.
For AC:
AC signal is a signal having a particular frequency 'f',
XC for any frequency f is given by:
Observation:
- For DC we conclude that a capacitor provides infinite resistance to the flow of current. Hence no current will flow as current in a capacitive circuit is given by:
- For AC we observe that the resistance offered by the capacitor is finite. Hence a finite flow of current is possible in a capacitive circuit with AC input.

Passive Components Question 10:
Maximum power is transferred when
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Passive Components Question 10 Detailed Solution
According to the maximum power transfer theorem, to obtain maximum power from external power from a source with finite impedance, the impedance of the load must be equal to source impedance.
Derivation:
From the above circuit, the current flowing through the load, ‘I’ is given as
Power transferred to the load,
In the above equation, RL is a variable, therefore the condition for maximum power delivered to the load is determined by differentiating load power with respect to the load resistance and equating it to zero.
→ (RL + RTH)2 = 2RL (RTH + RL)
→ RL + RTH = 2RL
→ RL = RTH
