Question

An AC generator supplies an rms voltage of 240 V at 50.0 Hz. It is connected in series with a 0.250 H inductor, a 3.30 ?F capacitor and a 381 ? resistor.
What is the impedance of the circuit?

What is the rms current through the resistor?


What is the average power dissipated in the circuit?


What is the peak current through the resistor?


What is the peak voltage across the inductor?

What is the peak voltage across the capacitor?

The generator frequency is now changed so that the circuit is in resonance. What is that new (resonance) frequency?

Explanation / Answer

Xc = 1/(2pfC) XL = 2pfL Impedance Z = v(R² + X²) where X = XL – Xc XL = 22217 ohms Xc = 23405 ohms X = –1188 ohms Z = v(260² + 1188²) Z = v(67600 + 1412000) Z = 1216 ohms I_rms = E/Z = 190/1216 = 0.156 amps P= I_rms^2(R)
