Question
In a simple AC circuit shown, C = 0.015 F, L = 1.5 H, R = 43 O, and I = Imaxsin(?t), where Imax = 6.5 A and ? = 75 rad/s.
Part (e) Express the maximum potential difference between a and b, ?Vab,max, in terms of Imax and XC.
Part (f) Calculate the numerical value of ?Vab,max in volts.
Part (g) Express the maximum potential difference between b and c, ?Vbc,max, in terms of Imax and R.
Part (h) Calculate the numerical value of ?Vbc,max in volts.
Part (i) Express the maximum potential difference between c and d, ?Vcd,max, in terms of Imax and XL.
Explanation / Answer
e)
Vab,max = Imax XC
f)
XC = 1/wC = 1/(75 x 0.015) = 0.889
Vab,max = Imax XC = 6.5 x 0.889 = 5.78 volts
g)
Vbc,max = ImaxR
h)
Vbc,max = ImaxR = 6.5 x 43 = 279.5 ohm
i)
Vcd,max = Imax XL
j)
XL = wL = 75 x 1.5 = 112.5 ohm
Vcd,max = Imax XL = 6.5 x 112.5 = 731.25
