Question

Consider a series LRC circuit with R=74 ohm, L=0.28 H and C=0.7 muF. The current is 17 mA amplitude at 0.7 kHz. Remember omega = 2pif, where f is the frequency in cycles per second or Hz. Find the angular resonant frequency of oscillations. Express the answer with one decimal place. A series ac circuit is shown. The inductor has a reactance of 128 ohm and an inductance of 106 mH. A 64 ohm resistor and a capacitor, whose reactance is 177 ohm, are also in the circuit. The rms current in the circuit is 2 A. In Figure, the phase angle (in degrees) of the circuit is:

Explanation / Answer


resonant frequency W^2 = 1/LC


W^2 = 1/(0.28 * 0.7 e-6)


W^2 = 5.1*10^6


W = 2pif = 2258.75


f = 719.35 Hz

-----------------------------------------

phase angle tan theta = (Xl-Xc)/R


tan theta = (128-177) /64


tan theta = -0.765


theta = pahse angle = -37.43 deg
