Chapter 28: Problem 32
An electric drill draws \(4.6 \mathrm{A}\) rms at \(120 \mathrm{V}\) rms. If the current lags the voltage by \(25^{\circ},\) what's the drill's power consumption?

An AC current is given by \(I=495 \sin (9.43 t),\) with \(I\) in \(\mathrm{mA}\) and \(t\) in ms. Find (a) the rms current and (b) the frequency in Hz.
A car-battery charger runs off the \(120-\mathrm{V}\) rms AC power line and supplies \(10-\mathrm{A}\) DC at \(14 \mathrm{V}\). (a) If the charger is \(80 \%\) efficient in converting the line power to the DC power it supplies to the battery, how much current does it draw from the AC line? (b) If electricity costs \(9.5 \Varangle / \mathrm{kWh}\), how much does it cost to run the charger for 10 hours if the power factor is \(1 ?\)
A damped \(L C\) circuit consists of a 0.15 -uF capacitor and a \(20-\mathrm{mH}\) inductor with resistance \(1.6 \Omega .\) How many oscillation cycles will occur before the peak capacitor voltage drops to half its initial value?
Show that the unit of both capacitive and inductive reactance is the ohm.
A 2.2 -nF capacitor and one of unknown capacitance are in parallel across a \(10-\mathrm{V}\) rms sine-wave generator. At \(1.0 \mathrm{kHz}\) the generator supplies a total current of \(3.4 \mathrm{mA}\) rms. The generator frequency is then decreased until the rms current drops to 1.2 mA. Find (a) the unknown capacitance and (b) the lower frequency.
