Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that the resistor of 25, a0.10H inductor , a 100mF capacitor are there in RLCcircuit . We are given thatIrms current of 2.5A and frequency 60Hz of source.

We need to find Erms.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Simplify 

Firstly we will find inductive reactance , XL=2πfL=2π×60×0.10=37.6

similarly we will find capacitive reactance ,XC=12πfC=12π×60×100×10-3=0.26

Impedance , Z=R2+XL-XC2=2019.27=44.9

We also know that , Irms=ErmsZErms=2.5×44.9=112.3V

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that the resistor of 25, a 0.10H inductor , a 100mF capacitor are there in RLCcircuit . We are given thatIrmscurrent of 2.5Aand frequency 60Hz of source.

We need to find phase angle .

04

Part(b) Step 2: Simplify 

Firstly we will find inductive reactance , XL=2πfL=2π×60×0.10=37.6

Similarly we will find capacitive reactance , XC=12πfC=12π×60×100×10-3=0.26

Phase angle is given by , ϕ=tan-1XL-XCR=tan-137.34=1.54°

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that the resistor of25 , a0.10H inductor , a 100mF capacitor are there in RLCcircuit . We are given thatIrms current of 2.5A and frequency60Hz of source.

We need to find average power loss.

06

Part(c) Step 2: Simplify

We will calculate power factor here which is given by ,

cosϕ=cos1.54=0.026

then average power lose is given by ,

average power loss =IrmsErmscosϕ=2.5×112.3×0.026=7.29watt

A 20mHinductor is connected across an AC generator that produces a peak voltage of 10V. What is the peak current through the inductor if the emf frequency is (a) 100Hz? (b) 100kHz?

The average power dissipated by a resistor is 4.0W. What is PRif:

a. The resistanceRis doubled while E0is held fixed?

b. The peak emfE0is doubled while Ris held fixed?

c. Both are doubled simultaneously?

II An electric circuit, whether it's a simple lightbulb or a complex amplifier, has two input terminals that are connected to the two output terminals of the voltage source. The impedance between the two input terminals (often a function of frequency) is the circuit's input impedance. Most circuits are designed to have a large input impedance. To see why, suppose you need to amplify the output of a high-pass filter that is constructed with a 1.2kΩ resistor and a 15μF capacitor. The amplifier you've chosen has a purely resistive input impedance. For a 60Hz signal, what is the ratio VRload/VRno loadof the filter's peak voltage output with (load) and without (no load) the amplifier connected if the amplifier's input impedance is (a) 1.5kΩand (b) 150kΩ ?

An inductor is connected to a 15kHzoscillator. The peak current is 65mA when the rms voltage is 6.0V. What is the value of the inductance L?

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.
