Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

An RLC circuit with periodT.

02

Determining the concept

By using the concept of energy stored in the capacitor, energy stored in the inductor, the energy supplied by the emf device, and the energy dissipated in the resistor, prove all the parts.

The formulae are as follows:

  • Energy stored in the capacitor, UE=q22C.
  • Energy stored in the inductor,.UB=12Li2
  • Rate of energy supply by driving emf device, Pϵ=iϵ.Where, i=Isin(ωd-ϕ)and .ϵ=ϵmsinωdt
  • Rate with which energy dissipates, PR=i2R
03

(a) Determining the energy stored in the capacitor does not change

It is known, that chargeqis a periodic function oftwith period .T

As.UE=q22C

So UEmust also be the periodic function t.

Thus, the energy stored in the capacitor does not change.

04

(b) Determining the energy stored in the inductor does not change 

Since the currentiis also periodictwith the period .T

As,

UB=12Li2.

So,UBmust also be the periodic function .t

Thus, the energy stored in the inductor does not change.

05

(c) Determining the driving emf device supplies energy  (12T)ϵmI cos ϕ

The energy supplied by the emf device over one cycle is,

UE=0TPϵdt=Iϵm0Tsin(ωdt-ϕ)sin(ωdt)dtUE=Iϵm0T[sin(ωdt)cos ϕ-cos(ωdt)sin ϕ]sin(ωdt)dt

Since,

And,

0Tsin2(ωdt)dt=T20Tsin(ωdt)cos(ωdt)dt=T2

Therefore,

UE=T2Iϵmcos ϕ.

Hence,energy supplied by driving emf is.(12T)ϵmIcosϕ

06

(d) Determining the resistor dissipates energy  (12T)RI2

Over one cycle, the energy dissipated in the resistor is,

UR=0TPRdt=I2R0Tsin2(ωdt-ϕ)dt.

UR=T2I2R.

Hence,energy dissipated by the resistor is.(12T)RI2

07

(e) Determining the quantities found in part c and part d are equal

From part c, the energy supplied by the emf device over one cycle is,

UE=T2Iϵmcos ϕUE=T2Iϵm(VRϵm)UE=T2Iϵm(IRϵm)UE=T2I2R.

This is equal to theenergy dissipated in the resistor from part d.

Hence, the quantities found in parts c and d are equal.

Hence,energy supplied by driving emf is equal to the energy dissipated by the resistor.

By using the concept of energy stored in the capacitor, energy stored in the inductor, the energy supplied by the emf device, and the energy dissipated in the resistor, all the results.
