An AC generator supplies an rms voltage of 120 V at 50.0 Hz. It is connected in series with a 0.650 H inductor, a 4.80 μF capacitor and a 301 Ω resistor. (a) What is the impedance of the circuit?
(b) What is the rms current through the resistor?
(c) What is the average power dissipated in the circuit?
(d) What is the peak current through the resistor?
(e) What is the peak voltage across the inductor?
(f) What is the peak voltage across the capacitor?
The generator frequency is now changed so that the circuit is in resonance. What is that new (resonance) frequency?

Explanation:

f = 50.0 Hz, L = 0.650 H, π = 3.14

C = 4.80 μF, R = 301 Ω resistor. V = 120volts

XL = wL = 2πfL

= 2×3.14×50* 0.650

= 204.1 Ohm

Xc= 1/wC

Xc = 1/2πfC

Xc = 1/2×3.14×50×4.80μF

= 1/0.0015072

= 663.48Ohms

1. Total impedance, Z = sqrt (R^2 + (Xc-XL)^2)= √ 301^2+ (663.48Ohms - 204.1 Ohm)^2

√ 90601 + (459.38)^2

√ 90601+211029.98

√ 301630.9844

= 549.209

Z = 549.21Ohms

2. I=V/Z = 120/ 549.21Ohms =0.218Ampere

3. P=V×I = 120* 0.218 = 26.16Watt

Note that

I rms = Vrms/Xc

= 120/663.48Ohms

= 0.18086A

4. I(max) = I(rms) × √2

= 0.18086A × 1.4142

= 0.2557

= 0.256A

5. V=I(max) * XL

= 0.256A ×204.1

=52.2496

= 52.250volts

6. V=I(max) × Xc

= 0.256A × 663.48Ohms

= 169.85volts

7. Xc=XL

1/2πfC = 2πfL

1/2πfC = 2πf× 0.650

1/2×3.14×f×4.80μF = 2×3.14×f×0.650

1/6.28×f×4.8×10^-6 = 4.082f

1/0.000030144× f = 4.082×f

1 = 0.000030144×f×4.082×f

1 = 0.000123f^2

f^2 = 1/0.000123048

f^2 = 8126.922

f =√8126.922

f = 90.14 Hz
