Question 3

A series circuit consists of a 50-Hz ac source,a 40-Ω resistor,a 0.30-H inductor,and a 60-μF capacitor.The rms current in the circuit is measured to be 1.6 A.What is the power factor of the circuit?
A)0.70
B)0.66
C)0.63
D)0.59
E)0.56

Accepted Answer

To find the power factor of the circuit, we need to calculate the impedance and the phase angle of the circuit.

The impedance of the circuit is given by:

Z = sqrt(R^2 + (XL - XC)^2)
where R is the resistance, XL is the inductive reactance, and XC is the capacitive reactance.

Using the given values, we get:

Z = sqrt(40^2 + (2π*50*0.30 - 1/(2π*50*60*10^-6))^2)
   = 51.76 Ω

The phase angle of the circuit is given by:

θ = tan^-1((XL - XC)/R)

Using the given values, we get:

θ = tan^-1((2π*50*0.30 - 1/(2π*50*60*10^-6))/40)
   = 42.58°

The power factor of the circuit is cos(θ), which is:

cos(42.58°) = 0.70

Therefore, the best choice is A) 0.70.

Question 7

A 25.0-mH inductor,a 2.00-μF capacitor,and a certain resistor are connected in series across an ac voltage source at 1000 Hz.If the impedance of this circuit is 200 Ω,what is the resistance of the resistor?
A)100 Ω
B)184 Ω
C)200 Ω
D)552 Ω
E)579 Ω

Accepted Answer

We know that the impedance of the circuit is given by:

Z = √[R^2 + (XL - XC)^2]

where XL is the inductive reactance and XC is the capacitive reactance.

At resonance, XL = XC, which means:

Z = R

Substituting the values, we get:

200 Ω = R

To find the resistance, we just need to choose the answer choice that is closest to 200 Ω.

Option B (184 Ω) is the closest choice and therefore the correct answer.

Question 13

The phase angle of an LRC series circuit with an inductive reactance of 200 Ω and a capacitive reactance of 100 Ω is 40.0°.What is the value of the resistor in this circuit?
A)100 Ω
B)119 Ω
C)156 Ω
D)200 Ω
E)265 Ω

Accepted Answer

We can use the formula for the phase angle of an LRC circuit:
tan(θ) = (XL - XC) / R

where:
θ is the phase angle
XL is the inductive reactance
XC is the capacitive reactance
R is the resistance

Substituting the given values, we get:
tan(40.0°) = (200 Ω - 100 Ω) / R

Solving for R:
R = (200 Ω - 100 Ω) / tan(40.0°)
R = 118.5 Ω

Therefore, the value of the resistor in this circuit is approximately 119 Ω (option B).

Question 16

An LRC ac circuit has a reactance (due to its capacitance)of 17 kΩ,a reactance (due to its inductance)of 9.0 kΩ,and a resistance of 28 kΩ.What is the power factor of the circuit?
A)0.96
B)0.28
C)1.04
D)0.48

Accepted Answer

The power factor can be found by taking the cosine of the angle of the impedance, where the angle is the difference between the phase angle of the inductive and capacitive reactances. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find that the total impedance of the circuit is approximately 32.2 kΩ. The phase angle can be found by taking the arctangent of the ratio of the difference between the reactances and the resistance. In this case, the phase angle is approximately 20.7 degrees. Therefore, the cosine of the phase angle is 0.951, which rounded to two decimal places is 0.96. Thus, the power factor of the circuit is 0.96. Therefore, the correct choice is A.
