In a certain series RLC circuit being driven at a frequency of 60.0Hz, the maximum voltage across the inductor is2.00times the maximum voltage across the resistor and2.00times the maximum voltage across the capacitor. (a) By what angle does the current lag the generator emf? (b) If the maximum generator emf is30.0V, what should be the resistance of the circuit to obtain a maximum current of300mA?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The angle by which the current lags the generator emf is45°.

b. Resistance of the circuit when generator emf is 30.0Vand current is 300mA, 70.7Ω.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Identification of the given data

The frequency is, f=60.0 Hz.

The maximum current is, I=300 mA=0.3 A

The maximum emf is, εm=30.0 V

VL=2×VR

VL=2×VC

Determining the concept

The voltage across the inductor in terms of the voltage across the capacitor and resistor. Using the formula for phase constant, find the angle by which the current lags the generator emf. Find the resistance of the circuit by using Ohm’s law.

Formulae are as follows:

tanϕ=(VL-VCVR)

V=IR

Where,

Vis the potential difference.

Iis the current.

Ris the resistance.

(a) Determining the angle by which the current lags the generator emf

The phase constant is given as,

tanϕ=VL-VCVR

But,VL=2×VRVR=VL2

Also,VL=2×VCVC=VL2

Therefore,

tanϕ=VL-VL2VL2tanϕ=VL2VL2tanϕ=1.00

Ï•=tan-11.00Ï•=45.00

Hence, the angle by which the current lags the generator emf is 45°

04

(b) Determining the resistance of the circuit when generator emf is 30.0V and current is 300mA

By Ohm’s law,

V=IR

But,

V=εmcosϕ

Thus,

εmcosϕ=IR

Rearranging the terms,

R=εmcosϕI

Substitute all the value in the above equation,

R=30.0V×cos45°0.3A=70.7Ω

Hence, the resistance of the circuit when generator emf is 30.0Vand current is 300mA is70.7Ω

By using the given relation between voltages across the capacitor, resistor, and inductor, and the formula for phase constant, found the angle between the voltage and current. Using Ohm’s law, found the required resistance.

An alternating emf source with a variable frequency fd is connected in series with a80.0Ωresistor and an 40.0mHinductor. The emf amplitude is6.0V. (a) Draw a phasor diagram for phasor VR(the potential across the resistor) and phasor VL(the potential across the inductor). (b) At what driving frequency fddo the two phasors have the same length? At that driving frequency, what are (c) the phase angle in degrees, (d) the angular speed at which the phasors rotate, and (e) the current amplitude?

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.
