Understanding the concept of reactance and impedance

At resonance, the driving angular frequency is equal to the natural angular frequency of the circuit. Using this concept, we can find inductive reactance. At resonance, the capacitive reactance has the same value as the inductive reactance.

Formulae:

  1. Condition for resonance for series LCRcircuit XC=XLand Ï•=0 ...(1)
  2. Inductive reactance, XL=Ó¬dL ...(2)
  3. Current amplitude using Ohm’s law, I=εmZ ...(3)
  4. The resonance frequency of LC oscillations, Ó¬=1LC ...(4)

Here Lis the inductance of the inductor, C is the capacitance of the capacitor and Ó¬d is the driving angular frequency.

a) Calculation of the voltage amplitude

The amplitude of the voltage across an inductor can be greater than the amplitude of the generator emf in an RLC circuit.

04

b) Calculation of voltage amplitude across the inductor

At resonance, driving angular frequency Ó¬dis equal to the natural angular frequencyÓ¬.

Thus, the inductive reactance using equation (4) in equation (2) as follows:

XL=LLC=1.0H1.0H1.0×10-6 F=1000Ω

At resonance, the capacitive reactance has the same value as the inductive reactance, i.e., given using equation (i)

So the impedance reduces toZ=R.

Now, the current amplitude is given using equation (3) as follows:

I=εmR=10V10Ω=1.0A

Voltage amplitude across the inductor in RLC circuit is given using equation (3) as follows:

VL=1.0A1000Ω=1.0×103V

This is much greater than the amplitude of the generator emf.

Hence, the value of the amplitude voltage is 1.0×103V.

A typical light dimmer used to dim the stage lights in a theater consists of a variable inductor L (whose inductance is adjustable between zero and Lmax) connected in series with a lightbulb B, as shown in Fig. 31-34. The electrical supply is Vrms=20Vat f=60Hz; the light bulb is rated at 120 V, p=1000W. (a) What Lmax is required if the rate of energy dissipation in the lightbulb is to be varied by a factor of 5 from its upper limit of 1000W? Assume that the resistance of the lightbulb is independent of its temperature. (b) Could one use a variable resistor (adjustable between zero and Rmax ) instead of an inductor? (c) If so, what Rmax is required? (d) Why isn’t this done?
