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
