Given:

\(R=30\Omega,X_L=200\Omega,X_C=160\Omega,V=220V\)

Concept:

Impedance is the opposition to the alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit.

Impedance is given by the formula,

  • \(Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}\)

 

Where \(R\) is Resistance,

 \(X_L\) is inductive reactance,

\(X_C\) is capacitive reactance

Explanation:

  • \(Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}\)
  • \(Z=\sqrt{30^2+(200-160)^2}=\sqrt{30^2+40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50\Omega\)
  • \(Z=\sqrt{30^2+40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50\Omega\)

 

Current, I\(=\frac{V}{Z}=\frac{220}{50}=\frac{22}{5}A\)

Potential drop across the resistor is \(V_d=IR=\frac{22}{5}\times30=132V\)

The correct answer is Option-1-132V.
