A seriesRLC circuit consists of a75Ωresistor, a 0.12H inductor, and a 30mF capacitor. It is attached to a120V/60Hz power line. What are (a) the peak currentI, (b) the phase angle ϕ, and (c) the average power loss?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The peak current is1.37A

b) Phase angle is 0.54°

c) The average power loss is69.19Watt

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that 75Ωresistor , a 0.12Hinductor, and a 30mFcapacitor are there in RLCcircuit. We are given that frequency of power line source equal to 60Hzand voltage 120V.

We need to find peak current.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Simplify 

Firstly we will find inductive reactance ,XL=2Ï€´Ú³¢=2π×60×0.12=45.2Ω

then we will capacitive reactance , XC=12Ï€´Ú°ä=12π×60×30×10-3=0.084Ω

We will calculate impedance by putting the value of R,XL,XC

Z=R2+XL-XC2=87.5

Peak current = I=V0Z=12087.5=1.37A

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that 75Ωresistor ,a 0.12Hinductor, and a 30mFcapacitor are there in RLCcircuit. We are given that frequency of power line source equal to 60Hzand voltage 120V.

We need to find phase angle .

04

Part(b) Step 2: Simplify 

Firstly we will find inductive reactance ,XL=2Ï€´Ú³¢=2π×60×0.12=45.2Ω

then we will capacitive reactance, XC=12Ï€´Ú°ä=12π×60×30×10-3=0.084Ω

Phase angle is given by ,

ϕ=tan-1XL-XCR=tan-145.11675=tan-10.601=0.54°

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that 75Ωresistor, a 0.12Hinductor, and a 30mFcapacitor are there in RLCcircuit. We are given that frequency of power line source equal to 60Hzand voltage 120V.

We need to find average power loss.

06

Part(c) Step 2: Simplify

Firstly we need to find , Irms=ErmsZ

then we can find ,Erms=E02=84.8V

So from here we get, Irms=84.887.5=0.96A

Power factor , cos0.54=0.85

Average power loss =IrmsErmscosϕ=84.8×0.96×0.85=69.19watt

Commercial electricity is generated and transmitted as three-phase electricity. Instead of a single emf E=E0cosvt, three separate wires carry currents for the emfs E1=E0cosvt,E2=E0cos1vt+120°,andE3=E0cos1vt-120°. This is why the long-distance transmission lines you see in the countryside have three parallel wires, as do many distribution lines within a city.

a. Draw a phasor diagram showing phasors for all three phases of a three-phase emf.

b. Show that the sum of the three phases is zero, producing what is referred to as neutral. In single-phase electricity, provided by the familiar electric outlets in your home, one side of the outlet is neutral, as established at a nearby electrical substation. The other, called the hot side, is one of the three phases. (The round opening is connected to ground.)

c. Show that the potential difference between any two of the phases has the rms value where is the familiar single-phase rms voltage. Evaluate this potential difference for . Some high-power home appliances, especially electric clothes dryers and hot-water heaters, are designed to operate between two of the phases rather than between one phase and neutral. Heavy-duty industrial motors are designed to operate from all three phases, but full three-phase power is rare in residential or office use.

The current in a series RLC circuit lags the EMF by 20°. You cannot change the EMF. What two different things could you do to the circuit that would increase the power delivered to the circuit by the EMF?
