Correct Answer :

Option A

P→3, Q→5, R→2, S→1

Solution :

The given AC source voltage is:
V(t)=300sin(400t) V
From this expression, we can identify the following system parameters:
- Peak source voltage: V0=300 V
- Angular frequency: ω=400 rad/s

Let us analyze each load configuration in List-I one by one:

1. Analysis of Load (P):
In the load diagram (P), a capacitor of capacitance C=50 μF and an inductor of inductance L=25 mH are bypassed (short-circuited) by a connecting wire, leaving only the resistor R=30 Ω in the active circuit path.
Thus, the load is purely resistive:
Z=R=30 Ω
For a purely resistive circuit, the current and voltage are in phase (φ=0).
The peak current is:
I0=V0Z=30030=10 A
The instantaneous current is:
i(t)=10sin(400t) A
This corresponds to graph (3) in List-II (in-phase waveform with peak value of 10 A).
Hence, P → 3.

2. Analysis of Load (Q):
In configuration (Q), a resistor R=30 Ω and an inductor L=100 mH are connected in series.
The inductive reactance is:
XL=ωL=400×100×10-3=40 Ω
The total impedance of this RL series circuit is:
Z=R2+XL2=302+402=50 Ω
The peak current is:
I0=V0Z=30050=6 A
In an RL circuit, the current lags the voltage by a phase angle φ:
tanφ=XLR=4030=43φ53°
Thus, the instantaneous current is:
i(t)=6sin(400t-53°) A
At t=0, i(0)=6sin(-53°)-4.8 A.
This corresponds to graph (5) in List-II, which has a peak of 6 A and is negative at t=0.
Hence, Q → 5.

3. Analysis of Load (R):
In configuration (R), a capacitor C=50 μF, resistor R=30 Ω, and inductor L=25 mH are connected in series.
The reactances are:
XC=1ωC=1400×50×10-6=50 Ω
XL=ωL=400×25×10-3=10 Ω
The net reactance is:
X=XC-XL=50-10=40 Ω (capacitive)
The impedance of this RLC circuit is:
Z=R2+(XC-XL)2=302+402=50 Ω
The peak current is:
I0=V0Z=30050=6 A
Since XC>XL, the current leads the voltage by a phase angle φ:
tanφ=XC-XLR=4030=43φ53°
Thus, the instantaneous current is:
i(t)=6sin(400t+53°) A
At t=0, i(0)=6sin(53°)4.8 A.
This matches graph (2) in List-II (peak of 6 A and positive at t=0).
Hence, R → 2.

4. Analysis of Load (S):
In configuration (S), a capacitor C=50 μF, resistor R=60 Ω, and inductor L=125 mH are connected in series.
The reactances are:
XC=1ωC=1400×50×10-6=50 Ω
XL=ωL=400×125×10-3=50 Ω
Since XL=XC=50 Ω, the circuit is in resonance.
The impedance is purely resistive:
Z=R=60 Ω
The phase difference is φ=0 because the net reactance is zero.
The peak current is:
I0=V0Z=30060=5 A
The instantaneous current is:
i(t)=5sin(400t) A
This corresponds to graph (1) in List-II (in-phase waveform with peak value of 5 A).
Hence, S → 1.

Combining these matches gives:
P → 3, Q → 5, R → 2, S → 1
