a. For an RC circuit, find an expression for the angular frequency at which VC=12ε0.

b. What is VR at this frequency ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The expression for angular frequency is Ó¬=3RC

(b) The expression for voltage across the resistor is VR=32ε0

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1 : Given information 

We are given that for an RC circuit, the voltage across a capacitor VC=12ε0and

we have to find out the angular frequencyÓ¬.

02

Part (a) Step 2 : Simplification 

As the expression for impedance of the circuit is,

R=32Z

On rearranging we get,

Z=32R

Now, the expression for angular frequency is,

Z2=R2+1(Ó¬C)2

Put the value of Z,

2R32=R2+1Ó¬2C2

Simplify it,1Ó¬2C2=43-1R2

Ó¬2=3R2C2

On solving we get,

Ó¬=3RC

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We are given that the voltage across a capacitorVc=12ε0and

we have to find out the VRi.e., potential across resistor.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Simplification

As we know,

The expression for voltage across resistor is,

ε02=VR2+VC2

Put the value ofVC

ε02=VR2+ε022

On simplifying,VR2=34ε02

We getVR=32ε0

Commercial electricity is generated and transmitted as three-phase electricity. Instead of a single emf, three separate wires carry currents for the emfs E1=E0cosvt,E2=E0cos1vt+120°,andE3=E0cos1vt-120°over three parallel wires, each of which supplies one-third of the power. This is why the long-distance transmission lines you see in the countryside have three wires. Suppose the transmission lines into a city supply a total of 450MWof electric power, a realistic value.

a. What would be the current in each wire if the transmission voltage were E0=120Vrms?

b. In fact, transformers are used to step the transmission-line voltage up to 500kVrms. What is the current in each wire?

c. Big transformers are expensive. Why does the electric company use step-up transformers?
