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.

CALC The region between two concentric conducting spheres with radii and is filled with a conducting material with resistivity ρ. (a) Show that the resistance between the spheres is given by

R=ρ4π(1a-1b)

(b) Derive an expression for the current density as a function of radius, in terms of the potential differenceVab between the spheres. (c) Show that the result in part (a) reduces to Eq. (25.10) when the separation L=b-abetween the spheres is small.

BIO The average bulk resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0Ω·m. The conducting path between the hands can be represented approximately as a cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible bysoaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) What potential difference between thehands is needed for a lethal shock current of 100 mA ? (Note that your result shows that small potential differences produce dangerous currents when the skin is damp.) (c) With the current in part (b),what power is dissipated in the body?

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

The text states that good thermal conductors are also good electrical conductors. If so, why don’t the cords used to connect toasters, irons, and similar heat-producing appliances get hot by conduction of heat from the heating element?
