Understanding the concept of oscillations of the LCR circuit

An electrical circuit composed of a resistor, a capacitor, and an inductor, connected in series, is known as an LCR circuit. The given circuit will become a series LR circuit when we remove the capacitor. Therefore, the impedance will only depend on resistance and inductive reactance. Using their values, we can find the impedance and phase angle. Using impedance, we can find the amplitude of the current.

The impedance of theLRcircuit for the driving frequency (ωd),

Z=R2+XL2 ...(1)

The inductive reactance of the inductor,

XL=ωdL ...(2)

The angular frequency of the LC oscillation,

ωd=2πfd ...(3)

The phase angle of RLC circuit,

tanϕ=XLR ...(4)

The current equation using Ohm’s law,

I=εmZ ...(5)

Here,Ris the resistance of the resistor, Lis the inductance of the inductor andfdis the frequency of the LC oscillation.

03

a) Calculation of the impedance value

Driving angular frequency is given using equation (3) as:

wd=2πfd

Forfd=60Hz, we get-

ωd=2π×60Hz=377.0rad/s

Now, the inductive reactance is given using equation (2) as follows:

XL=ωdL

XL=377.0rad/s×230×10-3H=86.7Ω

Thus, the impedance for LR circuit is given using equation (1) as follows: (for Xc=0)

Z=200Ω2+86.7Ω2=217.9Ω218Ω

Hence, the value of the impedance is 218Ω.

04

b) Calculation of the phase angle

From part (a) calculations, we get thatXc=0

Now, the phase angle can be given using equation (4) as follows:

localid="1662809694382" tanϕ=86.7Ω-0200Ω=23.41°

Hence, the value of the phase is 23.41°.

05

c) Calculation of the current amplitude

The current amplitude is given using equation (5) as follows:

I=εmZ=36.0V218=0.165A

Hence, the value of the current is 0.165A.

06

d) Calculation for the diagram of the phasor

The given circuit is purely inductive. Therefore, εmleads I, and the phase angle is ϕ=23.41°

The phasor diagram is shown below.

Hence, the phasor diagram is plotted accordingly.

An RLC circuit such as that of Fig. 31-7 hasR=5.0Ω,C=20.0μF,L=1.0H, andεm=30.0V. (a) At what angular frequencyωdwill the current amplitude have its maximum value, as in the resonance curves of Fig. 31-16? (b) What is this maximum value? At what (c) lower angular frequencyωd1and (d) higher angular frequencyωd2will the current amplitude be half this maximum value? (e) For the resonance curve for this circuit, what is the fractional half-width(ωd2-ωd1)/ω?

For Fig. 31-35, show that the average rate at which energy is dissipated in resistance R is a maximum when R is equal to the internal resistance r of the ac generator. (In the text discussion we tacitly assumed that r = 0.)

An ac generator provides emf to a resistive load in a remote factory over a two-cable transmission line. At the factory a stepdown transformer reduces the voltage from its (rms) transmission value Vtto a much lower value that is safe and convenient for use in the factory. The transmission line resistance is R=0.30Ω/cable, and the power of the generator is P=250kW. If Vt=80kV, what are (a) the voltage decreases V along the transmission line and (b) the rate ΔV at which energy is dissipated in the line as thermal energy? If Vt=80kV, what are (c) V and (d)ΔV ? If Vt=80kV, what are (e) V and (f) Pd?

Charges on the capacitors in three oscillating LC circuits vary as: (1) q=2cos4t , (2)q=4cost , (3)q=3cos4t (with q in coulombs and t in seconds). Rank the circuits according to (a) the current amplitude and (b) the period, greatest first.

An LC circuit oscillates at a frequency of 10.4kHz. (a) If the capacitance is340μF, what is the inductance? (b) If the maximum current is7.20mA, what is the total energy in the circuit? (c) What is the maximum charge on the capacitor?
