You are given many resistances, capacitors and inductors. These are connected to a variable DC voltage source (the first two circuits) or an AC voltage source of 50 Hz frequency (the next three circuits) in different ways as shown in Column II. When a current I (steady state for DC or rms for AC) flows through the circuit, the corresponding voltage V1V_1V1​ and V2V_2V2​ (indicated in circuits) are related as shown in Column I.

Correct answer: A

This is a matching-type question where we need to relate voltage conditions (Column I) to different circuits (Column II). We will analyze each circuit and determine which conditions it can satisfy.

Analysis of Circuits in Column II

1. Circuit (P): R-L circuit with a DC source

  • In a DC circuit at steady state, an inductor (L) acts as a short circuit (a wire with zero resistance).
  • The voltage across the inductor is V2=VL=LdIdt=0V_2 = V_L = L \frac{dI}{dt} = 0V2​=VL​=LdtdI​=0, as the current III is constant.
  • The entire source voltage VVV drops across the resistor (R). So, V1=VR=VV_1 = V_R = VV1​=VR​=V.
  • This corresponds to the condition (B) V2=0,V1=VV_2 = 0, V_1 = VV2​=0,V1​=V.
  • Also, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) for DC gives V1+V2=VV_1 + V_2 = VV1​+V2​=V. Substituting the values, we get V+0=VV + 0 = VV+0=V, which is true. So, it also matches condition (C) V1+V2=VV_1 + V_2 = VV1​+V2​=V.

2. Circuit (Q): R-C circuit with a DC source

  • In a DC circuit at steady state, a capacitor (C) acts as an open circuit. It gets fully charged, and no current flows through the circuit.
  • The steady-state current is I=0I = 0I=0.
  • The voltage across the resistor is V1=VR=I⋅R=0V_1 = V_R = I \cdot R = 0V1​=VR​=I⋅R=0.
  • The entire source voltage appears across the capacitor. So, V2=VC=VV_2 = V_C = VV2​=VC​=V.
  • This corresponds to the condition (A) V1=0,V2=VV_1 = 0, V_2 = VV1​=0,V2​=V.
  • KVL gives V1+V2=VV_1 + V_2 = VV1​+V2​=V. Substituting the values, we get 0+V=V0 + V = V0+V=V, which is true. So, it also matches condition (C) V1+V2=VV_1 + V_2 = VV1​+V2​=V.
  • The condition (D) V2>V1V_2 > V_1V2​>V1​ is also satisfied, as V>0V > 0V>0 (assuming a non-zero source voltage).

3. AC Circuits (R, S, T) For the AC circuits, the voltages V1V_1V1​ and V2V_2V2​ are RMS values. The problem states we are given many components, which implies we can choose their values to satisfy certain conditions.

  • Circuit (R): AC, R-L series

    • V1=IRV_1 = I RV1​=IR, V2=IXLV_2 = I X_LV2​=IXL​. The source voltage is V=V12+V22V = \sqrt{V_1^2 + V_2^2}V=V12​+V22​​.
    • (A) V1=0,V2=VV_1=0, V_2=VV1​=0,V2​=V: Possible if we choose R=0R=0R=0. Then V1=0V_1=0V1​=0 and V=02+V22⇒V=V2V = \sqrt{0^2 + V_2^2} \Rightarrow V=V_2V=02+V22​​⇒V=V2​.
    • (B) V2=0,V1=VV_2=0, V_1=VV2​=0,V1​=V: Possible if we choose L=0L=0L=0 (XL=0X_L=0XL​=0). Then V2=0V_2=0V2​=0 and V=V12+02⇒V=V1V = \sqrt{V_1^2 + 0^2} \Rightarrow V=V_1V=V12​+02​⇒V=V1​.
    • (D) V2>V1V_2 > V_1V2​>V1​: Possible if we choose components such that XL>RX_L > RXL​>R.
  • Circuit (S): AC, R-C series

    • V1=IRV_1 = I RV1​=IR, V2=IXCV_2 = I X_CV2​=IXC​. The source voltage is V=V12+V22V = \sqrt{V_1^2 + V_2^2}V=V12​+V22​​.
    • (A) V1=0,V2=VV_1=0, V_2=VV1​=0,V2​=V: Possible if we choose R=0R=0R=0.
    • (B) V2=0,V1=VV_2=0, V_1=VV2​=0,V1​=V: Possible if we choose C=∞C=\inftyC=∞ (XC=0X_C=0XC​=0).
    • (D) V2>V1V_2 > V_1V2​>V1​: Possible if we choose components such that XC>RX_C > RXC​>R.
  • Circuit (T): AC, L-C series

    • V1=IXLV_1 = I X_LV1​=IXL​, V2=IXCV_2 = I X_CV2​=IXC​. The voltages are 180∘180^\circ180∘ out of phase. The source voltage is V=∣V1−V2∣V = |V_1 - V_2|V=∣V1​−V2​∣.
    • (A) V1=0,V2=VV_1=0, V_2=VV1​=0,V2​=V: Possible if we choose L=0L=0L=0. Then V1=0V_1=0V1​=0 and V=∣0−V2∣⇒V=V2V = |0 - V_2| \Rightarrow V=V_2V=∣0−V2​∣⇒V=V2​.
    • (B) V2=0,V1=VV_2=0, V_1=VV2​=0,V1​=V: Possible if we choose C=∞C=\inftyC=∞. Then V2=0V_2=0V2​=0 and V=∣V1−0∣⇒V=V1V = |V_1 - 0| \Rightarrow V=V_1V=∣V1​−0∣⇒V=V1​.
    • (D) V2>V1V_2 > V_1V2​>V1​: Possible if we choose components such that XC>XLX_C > X_LXC​>XL​.

Matching Column I to Column II

  • (A) V1=0,V2=VV_1 = 0, V_2 = VV1​=0,V2​=V: This matches (Q) from DC analysis, and (R), (S), (T) from AC analysis (by choosing a component value to be zero). Thus, (A) → (Q), (R), (S), (T).

  • (B) V2=0,V1=VV_2 = 0, V_1 = VV2​=0,V1​=V: This matches (P) from DC analysis, and (R), (S), (T) from AC analysis (by choosing a component value to be zero or infinite). Thus, (B) → (P), (R), (S), (T).

  • (C) V1+V2=VV_1 + V_2 = VV1​+V2​=V:

    • For DC circuits (P) and (Q), this is a direct application of KVL, so it holds true.
    • For AC circuits (R), (S), and (T), the RMS voltages do not add arithmetically unless they are in phase. The voltages across R-L and R-C are 90∘90^\circ90∘ out of phase, and across L-C are 180∘180^\circ180∘ out of phase. So, in general, V1+V2≠VV_1+V_2 \neq VV1​+V2​=V. The equality holds only in the limiting cases already covered by (A) and (B). Given that (P) and (Q) satisfy this for any component values, they are the primary matches. Thus, (C) → (P), (Q).
  • (D) V2>V1V_2 > V_1V2​>V1​:

    • For (P), 0>V0 > V0>V, which is false.
    • For (Q), V>0V > 0V>0, which is true.
    • For (R), (S), (T), this is possible by choosing appropriate component values. Thus, (D) → (Q), (R), (S), (T).

Evaluating the Options

Let's summarize our findings:

  • (A) → (Q), (R), (S), (T)
  • (B) → (P), (R), (S), (T)
  • (C) → (P), (Q)
  • (D) → (Q), (R), (S), (T)

Now we compare this with the given options: Option A: (A)→(R), (S), (T); (B)→(Q), (R), (S), (T); (C)→(P), (Q); (D)→(Q), (R), (S), (T)

  • (C)→(P), (Q): Matches our derivation.
  • (D)→(Q), (R), (S), (T): Matches our derivation.
  • (A)→(R), (S), (T): This differs from our derivation; it excludes (Q). This could be based on the interpretation that the phrase "When a current I ... flows" implies I≠0I \neq 0I=0. In the DC steady state of circuit (Q), I=0I=0I=0.
  • (B)→(Q), (R), (S), (T): This is incorrect. Our analysis shows (B) matches (P), not (Q). In fact, (Q) matches (A). This part of the option seems to contain a typo, likely swapping P and Q.

Despite the clear error in the mapping for (B), Option A has the correct mappings for (C) and (D), which are the most definitive parts of the analysis. The discrepancy in (A) is based on a subtle interpretation, and the error in (B) is very likely a typo in the question or options (a common issue). Among the given choices, Option A is the most plausible intended answer.
