Match the entries in Group I (Mechanical system) with analogous quantities in Group II (Electrical system)

Group IGroup II
P) Mass1) Current
Q) Spring constant2) Voltage
R) Displacement3) Reciprocal capacitance
S) Velocity4) Charge
5) Inductance

  • A.P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1
  • B.P-5, Q-3, R-4, S-2
  • C.P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-2
  • D.P-5, Q-3, R-4, S-1

Answer: D

The correct match is P-5, Q-3, R-4, S-1.

This is the force-voltage analogy, where the mechanical equation \(m\ddot{x} + b\dot{x} + kx = F\) is matched term by term with the series circuit equation \(L\ddot{q} + R\dot{q} + \frac{q}{C} = V\):

  • mass \(m\) corresponds to inductance \(L\);
  • spring constant \(k\) corresponds to reciprocal capacitance \(\frac{1}{C}\);
  • displacement \(x\) corresponds to charge \(q\);
  • velocity \(\dot{x}\) corresponds to current \(\dot{q}\).

The options with S-2 pair velocity with voltage; voltage corresponds to force. The options with P-3, Q-5 swap mass and spring constant.
