Understanding the concept of impedance versus angular frequency graph

The impedance of a circuit is the effective resistance of an electric circuit or component to alternating current, arising from the combined effects of ohmic resistance and capacitive reactance. We need to use the information from the graph and impedance formula of the circuit to find the resistance and capacitance of the coil.

The impedance of the circuit for the driving frequency,

Z=R2+Xc2 …(¾±)

The reactance of a capacitor,

XC=1Ó¬dC …(¾±¾±)

03

a) Calculation of the resistance

The value of the impedance of equation (i) using equation (ii) becomes:

Z=R2+1Ó¬dC2

At asymptote Z=R,the second term in the square-root is zero. Here, from the above equation the value of the resistance in the coil is found to be:

Z=RR=500Ω

Hence, the value of the resistance is 500Ω.

04

b) Calculation of the capacitance

From the given graph of capacitive reactance, considering any one point, that is

So, consider the point with

Ӭd=50rad/s,XC=500Ω

Thus, we can calculate the capacitance C using equation (ii) as follows:

C=Ó¬dXC-1=50rad/s500Ω-1=40μ¹ó

Let us consider another point:

Ӭd=250rad/s,XC=100Ω

Thus, we can calculate the capacitance C using equation (ii) as follows:

C=Ó¬dXC-1=250rad/s100Ω-1=40μ¹ó

Hence, the capacitance of the capacitor is 40μ¹ó.
