Concept

An electric circuit composed of a resistor and capacitor connected in series, is known as a RC circuit. By equating the phasor lengths for VRand Vc, we can find thedriving frequency. By using the formula for phase angle in RCcircuit, we can find the phase angle corresponding to the driving frequency. We can find the angular speed of rotation of phasor by substituting the driving frequency in the formula for angular speed. We can find the current amplitude I in a series RCcircuit by using its formula.

The angular frequency,

Ó¬d=2Ï€fd ...(1)

The capacitive reactance of the capacitor,

XC=1Ó¬dC ...(2)

The current equation using Ohm’s law,

I=εmZ ...(3)

The impedance of theLCRcircuit for the driving frequency,

Z=R2+Xc2 …(4)

Phase angle for series circuit,

ϕ=tan-1-χcR …(5)

Here, R is the resistance of the resistor, Cis the capacitance of the capacitor, εmis the emf in the circuit and fdis the frequency.

Calculations

(a) The phasor diagram for VR and VCis shown below:

VClags behind VR by the phase angle π2rad

(b) We have to find the driving frequency at which VRand VChave the same length or amplitude. Therefore,

VR=VC ...(6)


Thus,using equations (1), (2) and (6), we get-

R=IχCIR=IӬdCIR=I2πfdC

Rearranging the terms,

fd=12Ï€RC


For the given values, we have-

fd=12π×50Ω×20×10-6Ffd=159Hz

The driving frequency of two phasors is fd=159Hz.


(c) Phase angle for series RC circuit is given by

Ï•=tan-1-VCVR

But we have, VR=VC, hence we get,

ϕ=tan-1-1ϕ=-π4rad=-45°

The phase angle is given by ϕ=-45°

(d) Angular speed of rotation of phasor is

Ӭd=2πfdӬd=2π×159HzӬd=999.03rad/s≈1.0×103rad/s

(e) Current amplitude in a RC circuit is given by

I=∈mZ=∈mR2+χC2

SinceR=χC,

∴I=∈m2χC2=∈m2·χc=∈mӬdC2

I=12.0V×1.0×103rad/s×20×10-6F2=170mA

Maximum value of current in RC circuit is 170mA.
