Understanding the concept of oscillations of LC circuit

In the given circuit, the resistor, capacitor, and inductor are in series. To find the impedance in the circuit, we have to find out the capacitive and inductive reactance. Then by using impedance, we can find the amplitude of current and phase angle. Then a second capacitor is connected in series with the other components. We can find the equivalence capacitance for the modified circuit and corresponding capacitive reactance. We can also find the impedance and the current of the modified circuit.

The impedance of theLCRcircuit for the driving frequency(Ó¬d),

Z=R2+XL-Xc2 ...(1)

The capacitive reactance of the capacitor,

XC=1Ó¬dC ...(2)

The inductive reactance of the inductor,

XL=ӬdL …(3)

The angular frequency of the LC oscillation,
Ӭd=2πfd …(4)

The current equation using Ohm’s law,

I=εmZ …(5)

The equivalent capacitance of a series combination,

1Ceq=∑in1Ci …(6)

Here, R is the resistance of the resistor, Cis the capacitance of the capacitor, L is the inductance of the inductor andfdis the frequency of the LC oscillation.

03

a) Calculation of the capacitive reactance

For the given value of frequency, equation (5) gives-

Ӭd=2π×400Hz=2513.28rad/s

Capacitive reactance is given using equation (1) as:

Xc=12513.28rad/s×24.0×10-6F=16.57Ω≈16.6Ω

Hence, the capacitive reactance is role="math" localid="1662813034707" 16.6Ω.

04

b) Calculation of the impedance of the circuit

Inductive reactance is given using equation (2) as:

XL=2513.28rad/s×150×10-3H=376.99Ω≈377Ω

Now, the impedance of the RLC circuit can be given using equation (3) as:

Z=220Ω2+377Ω-16.6Ω2=422.24Ω≈422Ω

Hence, the impedance is 422Ω.

05

c) Calculation of the current amplitude

Amplitude of current is given using the data in equation (4) as follows:

I=220V422Ω=0.521A

Hence, the current amplitude is 0.521A.

06

d) Calculation of the modified capacitance reactance

Now, the second capacitor ofthesame capacitance is connected in series.

Then, the equivalent capacitance is given using equation (6) as follows:

1Ceq=1C+1CCeq=C2=24.0×10-6F2=12.0×10-6F

Thus, the modified capacitive reactance is given using equation (1) as follows:

Xc=12513.28rad/s×12.0×10-6F=33.2Ω

Thus, the modified capacitive reactance increases

07

e) Calculation of the modified impedance

Modified impedance is given using the above values in equation (iii) as follows:

Z=220Ω2+377Ω-33.2Ω2=408.16Ω

Thus, the modified impedance decreases.

08

f) Calculation of the modified current amplitude

Modified amplitude of currentis given using the above values in equation (iv) as follows:

I=220V408.16Ω=0.539A

Therefore, the modified current increases.

Using the loop rule, derive the differential equation for an LCcircuit (EquationLd2qdt2+1Cq=0).

In Fig. 31-38, a three-phase generator G produces electrical power that is transmitted by means of three wires. The electric potentials (each relative to a common reference level) are V1=AsinÓ¬dtfor wire 1, V2=Asin(Ó¬dt-1200) for wire 2, and V3=Asin(Ó¬dt-2400)for wire 3. Some types of industrial equipment (for example, motors) have three terminals and are designed to be connected directly to these three wires. To use a more conventional two-terminal device (for example, a lightbulb), one connects it to any two of the three wires. Show that the potential difference between any two of the wires (a) oscillates sinusoidally with angular frequency Ó¬dand (b) has an amplitude ofA3.

For a sinusoidally driven series RLCcircuit, show that over one complete cycle with period T (a) the energy stored in the capacitor does not change; (b) the energy stored in the inductor does not change; (c) the driving emf device supplies energy (12T)ϵm Icos ϕ and (d) the resistor dissipates energy.(12T)RI2(e) Show that the quantities found in (c) and (d) are equal.

In an RLC circuit such as that of Fig. 31-7 assume that R=5.0Ω,L=60.0mH,fd=60.0Hzand εm=30.0V. For what values of the capacitance would the average rate at which energy is dissipated in the resistance be (a) a maximum and (b) a minimum? What are (c) the maximum dissipation rate and the corresponding (d) phase angle and (e) power factor? What are (f) the minimum dissipation rate and the corresponding (g) phase angle and (h) power factor?

What direct current will produce the same amount of thermal energy, in a particular resistor, as an alternating current that has a maximum value of 2.60 A?
