Question 1

An AC series circuit contains a resistor of 20 Ω,an inductor of 50 mH,and a variable capacitor.If the frequency of the applied voltage is 500 Hz,to what setting should the capacitor be set if resonance is achieved?

Accepted Answer

At resonance, the reactance of the inductor will be equal and opposite to the reactance of the capacitor. 
The reactance of the inductor XL = 2πfL = 2π(500)(0.05) = 31.4 Ω
The reactance of the capacitor Xc = 1/(2πfC) 
At resonance Xc = XL = 31.4 Ω
Substituting f = 500 Hz and XL = Xc = 31.4 Ω we get, 
31.4 = 1/(2π(500)C)
Solving for C, we get C = 2.02 µF which is closest to choice C) 2.0 µF.

Question 2

What is the impedance of an AC series circuit that is constructed of a 10.0-Ω resistor along with 24.0-Ω inductive reactance and 7.0-Ω capacitive reactance?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the total impedance (Z) of the circuit, we need to add the resistive, inductive, and capacitive impedances vectorially. Mathematically,

Z^2 = R^2 + (XL - XC)^2

Where R is the resistance, XL is the inductive reactance, and XC is the capacitive reactance.

Substituting the given values, we get:

Z^2 = (10)^2 + (24 - 7)^2

Z^2 = 10^2 + 17^2

Z^2 = 10^2 + 289

Z^2 = 389

Z = sqrt(389)

Z = 19.7 Ω

Therefore, the impedance of the AC series circuit is 19.7 Ω, which is closest to option A (19.7 Ω).

Question 3

Consider an AC series circuit containing a coil,capacitor,and resistor.Doubling the frequency will change the inductive reactance by what factor?

Accepted Answer

Inductive reactance (X_L) is directly proportional to the frequency (f), given by the formula X_L = 2πfL. Doubling the frequency will double the inductive reactance.

Question 5

Consider an AC series circuit containing a coil,capacitor,and resistor.Doubling the frequency will change the circuit's impedance by what factor?

Accepted Answer

The impedance of an AC circuit depends on the resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance, which are affected differently by frequency changes. Without specific values for these components, the overall change in impedance cannot be determined.

Question 7

A 50-Ω resistor,a 0.1-H inductor,and a 20-µF capacitor are connected in series to a 60-Hz source.The rms current in the circuit is 3 A.Find the rms voltage across the resistor,the inductor,and the capacitor.

Accepted Answer

We can use the formula for impedance of each component in the circuit:
- Impedance of resistor = R = 50 Ω
- Impedance of inductor = jωL = j(2πfL) = j(2π*60*0.1) Ω = j37.7 Ω
- Impedance of capacitor = 1/(jωC) = 1/(j2πfC) = 1/(j2π*60*20*10^-6) Ω = -j132.7 Ω (note the negative sign, indicating a phase shift of -90 degrees)

The total impedance of the circuit is the sum of the individual impedances:
Z = R + jωL + 1/(jωC)
Z = 50 + j37.7 - j132.7
Z = 50 -j95 Ω

Using Ohm's Law, we can find the rms voltage across each component:
- Voltage across resistor = IR = 3*50 = 150 V (rms)
- Voltage across inductor = I(jωL) = 3*j37.7 = j113 V (rms)
- Voltage across capacitor = I(1/(jωC)) = 3*(-j132.7) = -j398 V (rms)

Note that the voltage across the capacitor is also negative, indicating a phase shift of -90 degrees.

Question 9

A resistor and capacitor are connected in series with an applied AC voltage source.Separate voltmeter readings across the resistor and capacitor give values of 50 V and 60 V (rms),respectively.What is the effective (rms)voltage of the source?

Accepted Answer

The effective (rms) voltage of the source in an RC series circuit is found using the Pythagorean theorem: V_source = √(V_R^2 + V_C^2) = √(50^2 + 60^2) = √(2500 + 3600) = √6100 ≈ 78 V.

Question 10

A series LCR AC circuit is at resonance.It contains a resistor of 16 Ω,a capacitor of 0.35 μF,and an inductor of 90 mH.If an effective (rms)voltage of 150 V is applied,what is the effective (rms)current when the circuit is in resonance?

Accepted Answer

At resonance, the inductive and capacitive reactances cancel each other out, leaving only the resistance in the circuit. Therefore, the effective (rms) current is given by:I = V/R = 150 V / 16 Ω = 9.4 A

Question 16

In an LCR series circuit the capacitive reactance is 24 Ω.If the AC frequency halves,what will be the resulting capacitive reactance?

Accepted Answer

Capacitive reactance (Xc) is inversely proportional to the frequency (f), given by the formula Xc = 1/(2πfC). If the frequency halves, the capacitive reactance doubles, so it becomes 48 Ω.

Question 17

An LCR circuit has resistance R₀,inductance L₀,and capacitance C₀.If the resistance value is now tripled,which values of inductance and capacitance will result in the same resonant frequency as before?

Accepted Answer

The resonant frequency of an LCR circuit is given by 1/(2π√(LC)). If the resistance is tripled, the resonant frequency remains unchanged. Therefore, we need to adjust either the inductance or capacitance, or both, to maintain the same resonant frequency. From the equation, we see that if we triple the inductance, the resonant frequency decreases by a factor of √3, and if we triple the capacitance, the resonant frequency increases by a factor of √3. Therefore, to maintain the same resonant frequency, we need to increase the inductance by a factor of 3, and decrease the capacitance by a factor of 3. Thus, the correct answer is D: 3L₀,C₀/3.

Question 18

A resistor,inductor,and capacitor are connected in series,each with an effective (rms)voltage of 65 V,140 V,and 90 V,respectively.What is the magnitude of the phase angle between the current and applied voltage phasors in this circuit?

Accepted Answer

The phase angle φ in an RLC series circuit is given by tan(φ) = (V_L - V_C) / V_R. Here, V_L = 140 V, V_C = 90 V, and V_R = 65 V. So, tan(φ) = (140 - 90) / 65 = 50 / 65. Calculating φ gives approximately 38°.

Question 19

Consider an AC series circuit containing a coil,capacitor,and resistor.Doubling the frequency will change the capacitive reactance by what factor?

Accepted Answer

Capacitive reactance (XC) is given by the formula 1/(2πfC), where f is the frequency and C is the capacitance. Doubling the frequency will result in halving the capacitive reactance (XC) of the capacitor. Therefore, the factor by which XC changes is 1/2 or 0.5. Hence, the correct choice is D.
