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.

Curve a in Fig. 31-21 gives the impedance Z of a driven RC circuit versus the driving angular frequency Ó¬d. The other two curves are similar but for different values of resistance R and capacitance C. Rank the three curves according to the corresponding value of R, greatest first.

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.

An ac generator provides emf to a resistive load in a remote factory over a two-cable transmission line. At the factory a stepdown transformer reduces the voltage from its (rms) transmission value Vtto a much lower value that is safe and convenient for use in the factory. The transmission line resistance is R=0.30Ω/cable, and the power of the generator is P=250kW. If Vt=80kV, what are (a) the voltage decreases V along the transmission line and (b) the rate ΔV at which energy is dissipated in the line as thermal energy? If Vt=80kV, what are (c) V and (d)ΔV ? If Vt=80kV, what are (e) V and (f) Pd?
