Class 12 Physics Chapter 7 Alternating Current Notes – PDF Download

Chapter 7 Alternating Current 

In this article, students can find NCERT notes for AC power. It is not only important to score well in board exams but also a necessary chapter for entrance exams. Therefore, it is important to master these concepts in order to perform well in the exams. Practicing NCERT questions will help students understand the correct approach to answering questions in exams.

CBSE class 6 chapter 11 talks about the AC voltage applied to the rheostat, the power in a purely resistive circuit, the mean value of a sine function, and the average value of the square of the sine and sine functions. , an average square of alternating current, and many others. Students must practice questions in the text provided by Vidyakul to do well in exams. Continue reading this article to know about NCERT Physics Grade 12 Chapter 7 notes.

Points to Remember

Below-mentioned are some of the important points to be remembered from Chapter 7 of Class 12 Physics.

  • Phasor: A phasor is a vector that rotates about the origin with angular speed ω. The magnitude of a phasor represents the amplitude or peak value of the quantity (voltage or current) represented by the phasor.

  • LC Oscillation: A circuit containing an inductor L and a capacitor C (initially charged) with no ac source and no resistors exhibit free oscillations. The energy in the system oscillates between the capacitor and the inductor, but their sum or the total energy is constant in time.

  • Transformer: If the secondary coil has a greater number of turns than the primary, the voltage is stepped-up (Vs>Vp) This type of arrangement is called a step-up transformer. If the secondary coil has turned less than the primary, we have a step-down transformer.

  • Resonance: An interesting characteristic of a series RLC circuit is the phenomenon of resonance. The circuit exhibits resonance, i.e., the amplitude of the current is maximum at the resonant frequency, ω0=1LC√.

  • AC Voltage Applied to a Resistor: An alternating voltage v=vm sinωt applied to a resistor R drives a current i=im sinωt in the resistor, im=vmR. The current is in phase with the applied voltage.(ii) For an alternating current i=im sinωti=im sin⁡ωt passing through a resistor  R R, the average power loss PP (averaged over a cycle) due to joule heating is (12)i2mR12im2R.
