In an L-R-C series circuit, the components have the following values: L = 20.0 mH, C = 140 nF, and R = 350Ω. The generator has an rms voltage of 120V and a frequency of 1.25 kHz. Determine (a) the power supplied by the generator and (b) the power dissipated in the resistor.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The power supplied by the generator is 7.32 W and the power dissipated by the generator is 7.32 W.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1: Formula of power supplied and power dissipated  

ϕis the phase difference between voltage and current.

ϕistan-1(wL-1ωCR)whereϕ is the phase difference between voltage and current,ω is the angular frequency of voltage supply, L is the value of inductance of the inductor, C is the capacitance, R is the resistance

Irmsrepresents the d.c. current/voltage that dissipates the same amount of power as the average power dissipated by the alternating current/voltage.

Irms=VrmsZ

Pavgis the average power dissipated by the circuit.

Pavg=VrmsIrmscosϕ=(Irms)2R

VrmsandIrms are the rms voltage and current respectively.

Z is defined as the impedance of the circuit which is the effective resistance of an electric circuit or component to alternating current, arising from the combined effects of ohmic resistance and reactance.

Z=R2+(XL-XCC)2, where Z is the impedance

02

Step-2: Calculations for power supplied by the generator

ϕ=tan-1(157Ω-909Ω350Ω)-65.04°

z=3502+157-9092Ω=829.8Ω

Irms=120V829.8Ω=0.145A

Finally,Pavg=(120.V)(0145A)cos(-65.04)=7.32W

Therefore the value of the power supplied by the generator is 7.32W

03

Step-3: Calculations for power dissipated by the resistor

Pavg=(0.145A)2(350Ω)=7.32W

Therefore the value of the power supplied by the generator is 7.32W and the value of the power dissipated by the generator is 7.32W.

An electron at pointAinFig. E27.15has a speedv0of1.41×106m/sFind (a) the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field that will cause the electron to follow the semicircular path fromAtoB, and (b) the time required for the electron to move fromAtoB.

Batteries are always labeled with their emf; for instances an AA flashlight battery is labelled “ 1.5 V ”. Would it also be appropriate to put a label on batteries starting how much current they provide? Why or why not?

The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 8.40 V when there is a current of 1.50 A in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is 3.50 A in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes10.20 V . (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80

min. Silver containsfree electrons per cubic meter. (a) What is the

current in the wire? (b) What is the magnitude of thedrift velocity of the

electrons in the wire?

You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 Ω and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery
