To light, a 50 W,100 V lamp is connected, in series with a capacitor of capacitance 50πx μF, with 200 V, 50 Hz AC source. The value of x will be _____ .

Solution

Electrical power is given by P=V2RR=V2P

Resistance of lamp is R=100×10050R=200 Ω

Let VC and VR be the voltage across capacitor and resistor.

Here, VR2+VC2=V2

Current through lamp is i=100200=12 A

1002+VC2=2002

 VC2=30000VC=1003 V

We know that, V=i×XC 

Then,  XC=2003 Ω=1ωC

So, capacitance of capacitor is C=120×50×203=50×10-6x

x=50×10-6×100×2003

Thus, value of x=3.
