For the AC circuit shown below, phase difference between emf and current is $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radian as shown in the graph. If the impedance of the circuit is $1414 \Omega$, then the values of $P$ and $Q$ are
  1. $1 \mathrm{k} \Omega, 10 \mu \mathrm{F}$
  2. $1 \mathrm{k} \Omega, 1 \mu \mathrm{F}$
  3. $1 \mathrm{k} \Omega, 10 \mathrm{mH}$
  4. $1 \mathrm{k} \Omega, 1 \mathrm{mH}$

Solution

In the shown figure, current is ahead of voltage, so its a $R C$ circuit, so $P$ is a resistor and $Q$ is a capacitor. Now, in $R C$ circuit, $ Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_C^2} $ For simple solution, Given $ \begin{aligned} & =1000 \sqrt{2} \\ & =1000 \sqrt{1+1} \\ & =\sqrt{(1000)^2+(1000)^2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad X_C & =1000 R=1000 \Omega \\ \text { Now, } \quad X_C & =\frac{1}{\omega C} \Rightarrow C=\frac{1}{\omega X_C} \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \\ \quad \quad & =\frac{1}{100 \times 1000}=10 \mu \mathrm{F} \end{aligned} $ $ Z=1414=1000 \times 1.414 $
