An alternating emf source with a certain emf amplitude is connected, in turn, to a resistor, a capacitor, and then an inductor. Once connected to one of the devices, the driving frequency fdis varied and the amplitude Iof the resulting current through the device is measured and plotted. Which of the three plots in Fig. 31-22 corresponds to which of the three devices?

Short Answer

  1. The alternating EMF source is connected in turn, to a resistor, a capacitor, and then an inductor.

Understanding the concept of Ohm’s law and frequency

Applying Ohm’s law that voltage is proportional to the product of current and resistance in the formula for angular frequency, we can find the relation between current and frequency, and using this relation, we can find which given plot corresponds to which given device.

Formulae:

The angular frequency of an oscillation, Ó¬d=2Ï€fd (i)

The alternating emf of a circuit, εm=VR=VC=VL (ii)

The current equation according to the Ohm’s law, IR=VRRorXcorXL (iii)

The reactance of the capacitor, XC=1Ó¬dC (iv)

The reactance of the inductor, XL=Ó¬dL (v)

Calculation of the plots corresponding to the circuits

Substituting the value of voltage in equation (ii) in equation (iii), we can get the current of the resistor equation as:

IR=εmR

where,εmandRboth are constant.

Thus, the currentIRis also constant.

Now from Fig.31-22, we can write that plot b corresponds to circuit withR.

For circuit with capacitor C:

Substituting the value of reactance from equation (iv) in equation (ii), we can get that the current through the capacitor is given as:

IC=εm1ӬdC=εmӬd

Now, substituting equation (i) in the above equation, we get the current equation as:

IC=2πεmCfd

Where2πεmC is constant. Let,k=2πεmC .

Thus, the value of the current now becomes

IC=kfd

Here, the currentICis directly proportional todriving frequency fd.

Therefore, from Fig.31-22, we can write that plot c corresponds to circuit with C.

For circuit with inductor L:

Substituting the value of reactance from equation (v) in equation (ii), we can get that the current through the capacitor is given as:

IL=εmӬdL

Now, substituting equation (i) in the above equation, we get the current equation as:

IL=εm2πfdL=εm2πL1fd

where,εm2πLis constant. Let,k=εm2πL.

Thus, the current equation becomes:

IL=k1fd

Therefore, the current ILis inversely proportional to driving frequencyfd and from Fig.31-22, we can write that plot a corresponds to circuit with L.
