A coil has a resistance of 48.0 Ω. At a frequency of 80.0 Hz the voltage across the coil leads the current in it by 52.3°. Determine the inductance of the coil.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of inductance L in the circuit is 0.124H

Step by step solution

01

Step-1: Formulas used   

\(\phi \) is the angle between the voltage and current phasors

\(\tan \phi = \frac{{({X_L} - {X_C})}}{R}\),where \({X_C}\) is the capacitive reactance, \({X_L}\)is the inductive reactance and R is the resistance.

The circuit does not have a capacitor so \({X_C}\)= 0 so,

\({X_L} = R\tan \phi \)

To calculate L use,

\(L = \frac{{{X_L}}}{{2\pi f}}\)

02

Step-2: Calculations for Inductance

Plug the values of R and phase difference to get \({X_L}\)

\(\begin{aligned}{X_L} = (48\Omega )\tan (52.3^\circ )\\ = 62.1\Omega \end{aligned}\)

Now, plug the values of \({X_L}\)and f to get L

\(\begin{aligned}L = \frac{{62.1\Omega }}{{2\pi (80Hz)}}\\ = 0.124H\end{aligned}\)

Therefore the value of inductance of coil L = 0.124H

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton’s mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion’s circulator orbit?

Why does an electric light bulb nearly always burn out just as you turn on the light, almost never while the light is shining?

In the circuit of Fig. E25.30, the 5.0 Ω resistor is removed and replaced by a resistor of unknown resistance R. When this is done, an ideal voltmeter connected across the points band creads 1.9 V. Find (a) the current in the circuit and (b) the resistance R. (c) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.
