MDCAT Physics MCQ #177

  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 200 Hz AC generator produces a voltage of 200 V. If the current through a 5 Ω resistor is 2 A, what is the impedance of the circuit?

    • A) 10 Ω
    • B) 15 Ω
    • C) 20 Ω
    • D) 25 Ω

    Answer: 20 Ω

    Explanation: The correct answer is 20 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.
