Figure 31-32 shows a driven RLC circuit that contains two identical capacitors and two switches. The emf amplitude is set at εm=12.0V, and the driving frequency is set at 60.0Hz. With both switches open, the current leads the emf by 30.9°. With switch S1closed and switch S2still open, the emf leads the current by 15.0°. With both switches closed, the current amplitude is 447mA. What are (a) R, (b) C , and (c) L?

Understanding the concept of equations relating to LC circuit

We can find the values of resistance, capacitance, and inductance by considering the effective reactance and by using the formulae for phase angle and capacitive and inductive reactance.

The capacitive reactance of the capacitor,

XC=1ӬdC …(1)

The inductive reactance of the inductor,

XL=ӬdL …(2)

The current equation using Ohm’s law,

I=εmZ …(3)

Phase angle of the RLC circuit,

tanf=XL-XcR=XnetR …(4)

Here, R is the resistance of the resistor,Cis the capacitance of the capacitor, L is the inductance of the inductor andÓ¬dis the driving angular frequency.

03

a) Calculation of the resistance

Whenthe switchesS1andS2are closed,the current will not flow through R. This effectively removes the resistance from the circuit. Impedance will be equal to the net reactance.

Thus, the value of the net reactance is given using equation (3) as follows:

Xnet=εmI=12.0V447×10-3A=26.85Ω

WhenS1is closed andS2is open, the resistorR is the part of circuit, so the reactance is the same asXnet.

So, using equation (4), we can get the resistance value of the circuit as follows:

R=Xnettanϕ2=26.8Ωtan15.0°=100Ω

Hence, the value of the resistance is 100Ω.

b) Calculation of the capacitance

Now consider the circuitwhen both the switches are open, and letXnet'be the reactance offered by the circuit andϕ1be the phase angle.Then we have the net reactance using equation (4) as follows:

Xnet'=100Ω×tan30.9°=-59.96Ω

Now let’s find the effect of closingS1on the reactance.

We have the capacitive reactance as follows:

XC=Xnet-Xnet'=26.85Ω--59.96Ω=86.81Ω

This is nothing but the capacitive reactance.

Thus, the capacitance value is given using equation (1) as follows:

C=1Ó¬dXc=12π×60Hz×86.81Ω=30.6×10-6F=30.6μ¹ó

Hence, the value of the capacitance is 30.6μ¹ó.

05

c) Calculation of the inductance

We havexnet=XL-XC

Thus, the value of the inductive reactance is given by:

XL=26.85Ω+86.81Ω=113.66Ω

Now, the value of the inductance is given using equation (2) as follows:

L=XL2πfd=113.66Ω2π×60Hz=0.301H=301mH

Hence, the inductance value is 301mH.
