Correct answer: A

  1. Given data
  • Inductance: L=40 mH=0.04 HL = 40\text{ mH} = 0.04\text{ H}L=40 mH=0.04 H
  • Capacitance: C=100 μF=100×10−6 F=10−4 FC = 100\,\mu\text{F} = 100 \times 10^{-6}\text{ F} = 10^{-4}\text{ F}C=100μF=100×10−6 F=10−4 F
  • Applied voltage: V(t)=10sin⁡(314t)V(t)=10\sin(314t)V(t)=10sin(314t)

So the angular frequency is ω=314 rad s−1\omega = 314\ \text{rad s}^{-1}ω=314 rad s−1


  1. Find reactances

For the inductor, XL=ωL=314×0.04=12.56 ΩX_L=\omega L=314 \times 0.04=12.56\,\OmegaXL​=ωL=314×0.04=12.56Ω

For the capacitor, XC=1ωC=1314×10−4≈31.85 ΩX_C=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{314\times 10^{-4}}\approx 31.85\,\OmegaXC​=ωC1​=314×10−41​≈31.85Ω


  1. Net reactance of LC series circuit

For a series LCLCLC circuit, impedance is purely reactive: Z=j(XL−XC)Z = j\left(X_L-X_C\right)Z=j(XL​−XC​)

Magnitude of impedance: ∣Z∣=∣XL−XC∣=∣12.56−31.85∣=19.29 Ω|Z|=|X_L-X_C|=|12.56-31.85|=19.29\,\Omega∣Z∣=∣XL​−XC​∣=∣12.56−31.85∣=19.29Ω


  1. Current amplitude

Given voltage amplitude V0=10V_0=10V0​=10 V, current amplitude is I0=V0∣Z∣=1019.29≈0.52 AI_0=\frac{V_0}{|Z|}=\frac{10}{19.29}\approx 0.52\text{ A}I0​=∣Z∣V0​​=19.2910​≈0.52 A


  1. Phase relation

Since XC>XLX_C > X_LXC​>XL​, the circuit is capacitive. Therefore current leads the voltage by π2\frac{\pi}{2}2π​.

Given V(t)=10sin⁡(314t)V(t)=10\sin(314t)V(t)=10sin(314t) so current is I(t)=0.52sin⁡(314t+π2)=0.52cos⁡(314t)I(t)=0.52\sin\left(314t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=0.52\cos(314t)I(t)=0.52sin(314t+2π​)=0.52cos(314t)


  1. Check options
  • A: 0.52cos⁡314t0.52\cos 314t0.52cos314t ✅
  • B: 5.2cos⁡314t5.2\cos 314t5.2cos314t ❌ amplitude incorrect
  • C: 0.52sin⁡314t0.52\sin 314t0.52sin314t ❌ wrong phase
  • D: 10cos⁡314t10\cos 314t10cos314t ❌ wrong amplitude

Therefore, the correct current is I(t)=0.52cos⁡(314t)\boxed{I(t)=0.52\cos(314t)}I(t)=0.52cos(314t)​

So, Option A is correct.
