Explanation / Answer

a) Voltage = impedance * current

V= IZ

I = V/Z

I = 360/440

I =.818


(b)


Z = source voltage/ circuit current


Z =120/.818


Z = 146 ohms


(c)



Z = sqrt( R^2 + ( Xc - Xl )^2)


146 = sqrt( 35^2 + ( 440 - Xl )^2)


146^2 = ( 35^2 + ( 440 - Xl )^2)

146^2 - 35^2 = 440^2 - 880Xl +Xl^2

rewriting the equation we get



+Xl^2 - 880Xl + 173509 = 0 use quadratic equation to get values of Xl


-165.75 and 1045


d)

Resonance frequency = 1/2pisqrt(LC)

for 1045

because higher inductance means lower resonance frequency as seen from the equation


f) The resonance frequency of the circuit is that value when the complex part of impedance becomes 0


i.e.,

w*L = 1/w C


w = 1/sqrt(LC)


2*pi*f = 1/sqrt(LC)


f=1/(sqr(LC)*2pi

At this frequency the current has a higher value and impedance Z has the least value
