Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Resistance is R=15.0Ω.

Capacitance isC=4.70μF.

Inductance isL=25.0mH.

Rms voltage isVrms=75.0V.

Frequency is f=550Hz.

02

Understanding the concepts of power and rms value

Use the concept of RMS current and RMS voltage.Also, use the concept of power.Define the impedance of the circuit. Using the equations that can find the RMS current and RMS voltages across the given components. Using the equation of power, determine the power (rate of energy dissipated) across the given component.

Formulas:

The RMS current is,


Irms=εrmsZ

The voltage is,

V=IrmsR

Here, Irmsis the RMS current and R is the resistance.

The power is define by,

P=V2R

The impedance is given by,

Z=R2+(XL-XC)2

The inductive reactance

XL=2πfL

Here, L is the inductor and f is the frequency.

The capacitive reactance.


XC=12πfC

Here, C is the capacitance.

03

Calculation of the RMS current

a.

Writethe equation for theimpedance of the circuit:

Z=R2+XL-XC2

Determine the inductive reactance as below.

XL=2πfL=23.1455025×10-3=86.35Ω

Determine thecapacitive reactance as follow.

XC=12πfC=123.145504.70×10-6=61.57Ω

Plugging these values in equation of impedance, you get

Z=R2+XL-XC2=152+86.35-61.572=28.94Ω

Plugging this value in equation of RMS current, you have

Irms=εrmsZ=7528.9=2.59A

Hence, the RMS current is Irms=2.59A.

04

Calculation of the Rms voltage across R

b.

Write the equation of Ohm’s law as below.

VR=IrmsR

Using the value of RMS current and resistance, you get

VR=2.5915=38.8V

Rms voltage across R is VR=38.8V.

05

Calculation of the Rms voltage across C

c.

Rms voltage across C :

VC=IrmsXC

Plugging the values of rms current and capacitive reactance, you obtain

VC=2.5961.599=159V

Hence, the RMS voltage across C is VC=159V.

06

Calculation of the Rms voltage across  

d.

Write the equation for voltage as below.

VL=IrmsXL

Plugging the values of rms current and inductive reactance, you get

VL=2.5986.35=223.7V=224V

Rms voltage across L is VL=224V.

07

Calculation of the Rms voltage across C and L together

e.

Rms voltage across C and L together:

We can write

VCL=VC-VL=159-223.7=64.2V

Hence, RMS voltage across C and L together is VCL=64.2V.

08

Calculation of the Rms voltage across R, C, and L together

f.

Rms voltage across R, C, and L together:

We can write

VRCL=VR2+VCL2=38.82+64.22=75.0V

Hence the RMS voltage across R, C, and L together is VRCL=75.0V.

09

Calculation of the average rate of energy dissipated by R:

g.

Usingtheequation of power, you can write

PR=VR2R=38.8215=100W

Hence, the average rate of energy dissipated by R is PR=100W.

10

Calculation of the average rate of energy dissipated by C :

h.

Average rate of energy dissipated by C :

As there is no energy lost in capacitor, no energy is dissipated in capacitor.

11

Calculation of the average rate of energy dissipated by L 

i.

Average rate of energy dissipated by L:

As inductor does not cause any energy loss, so the energy dissipated in inductor is zero.
