JEE Advanced 2021 — Paper 2 — Question 29
In the circuit, a metal filament lamp is connected in series with a capacitor of capacitance across a Hz supply. The power consumed by the lamp is 500 W while the voltage drop across it is 100 V . Assume that there is no inductive load in the circuit. Take rms values of the voltages. The magnitude of the phase-angle (in degrees) between the current and supply voltage is . Assume, .
The value of C is .
Answer: 100.00
Numerical answer — enter this value.
Step-by-step solution
Impedance of circuit Resistance of lamp Reactance of capacitance
\begin{array}{*{35}{r}}{{\text{X}}_{\text{C}}} & ~=\sqrt{{{\text{Z}}^{2}}-{{\text{R}}^{2}}}=20\sqrt{3}\text{ }\!\!\Omega\!\!\text{ } \\\frac{1}{\omega \text{C}} & ~=20\sqrt{3} \\\end{array}
