MDCAT Physics MCQ #168

  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 200 Hz AC generator produces a voltage of 200 V. If the current through a 10 Ω resistor is 2 A, what is the impedance of the circuit?

    • A) 15 Ω
    • B) 20 Ω
    • C) 25 Ω
    • D) 30 Ω

    Answer: 25 Ω

    Explanation: The correct answer is 25 Ω because impedance (Z) is the vector sum of resistance (R) and reactance (X). Z = √(R^2 + X^2). Option A is the resistance, option B is the reactance, and option D is the result of a calculation error.
