Question 1

An ac source of period T and maximum voltage V is connected to a single unknown ideal element that is either a resistor,and inductor,or a capacitor.At time t = 0 the voltage is zero.At time t = T/4 the current in the unknown element is equal to zero,and at time t = T/2 the current is I = -I_max,where I_max is the current amplitude.What is the unknown element? A) a resistor B) an inductor C) a capacitor D) an inductor or a capacitor

Accepted Answer

The unknown element is a capacitor because the current leads the voltage by 90 degrees in a capacitive circuit. At t = 0, the voltage is zero and the current is at its maximum (positive or negative), but since the current is zero at t = T/4, this indicates the current is lagging behind the voltage by a quarter period, characteristic of a capacitive circuit. At t = T/2, the voltage would be at its maximum negative value, aligning with the described current behavior.

Question 4

If the voltage amplitude across an 8.50-nF capacitor is equal to 12.0 V when the current amplitude through it is 3.33 mA,the frequency is closest to
A) 32.6 MHz.
B) 5.20 MHz.
C) 32.6 kHz.
D) 5.20 kHz.
E) 32.6 Hz.

Accepted Answer

The capacitive reactance can be calculated using the formula Xc = 1 / (2πfC), where f is the frequency and C is the capacitance. 
Rearranging the equation, we get f = 1 / (2πXcC). 
Substituting the given values, we get Xc = V/I = 12.0 V / (3.33 mA) = 3600 Ω. 
Also, C = 8.50 nF. 
Substituting these values, we get f = 1 / (2π × 3600 Ω × 8.50 nF) = 5.20 MHz (rounded to two significant figures). 
Therefore, the answer is B.

Question 6

A 120-V rms voltage at 1000 Hz is applied to an inductor,a 2.00-μF capacitor and a 100-Ω resistor,all in series.If the rms value of the current in this circuit is 0.680 A,what is the inductance of the inductor?
A) 34.2 mH
B) 35.8 mH
C) 11.4 mH
D) 17.9 mH
E) 22.8 mH

Accepted Answer

The impedance of the circuit can be calculated using the formula:

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

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

From the given information, we can calculate XC and the capacitance C as follows:

XC = 1/(2πfC) = 1/(2π*1000*2.00*10^-6) = 79.6 Ω
C = 2.00 μF

Next, we can use Ohm's law and the given current to calculate the total impedance Z:

Z = Vrms/Irms = 120/0.680 = 176.5 Ω

Now we can use the impedance formula to solve for the inductive reactance XL:

XL = sqrt(Z^2 - R^2 - XC^2) = sqrt(176.5^2 - 100^2 - 79.6^2) = 104.2 Ω

Finally, we can use the formula for inductive reactance to calculate the value of the inductance L:

XL = 2πfL
L = XL/(2πf) = 104.2/(2π*1000) = 16.6 mH

Therefore, the closest choice is B) 35.8 mH.

Question 12

A series circuit consists of a 50-Hz ac source,a 50-Ω resistor,a 0.50-H inductor,and a 60-μF capacitor.The rms current in the circuit is measured to be 3.1 A.What is the voltage amplitude of the source?
A) 510 V
B) 270 V
C) 220 V
D) 180 V
E) 160 V

Accepted Answer

The voltage amplitude of the source can be found by first calculating the impedance (Z) of the circuit and then using Ohm's law (V = IZ) in its AC form, where V is the voltage amplitude, I is the rms current, and Z is the impedance. The impedance of a series RLC circuit is given by $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}$, where $X_L = 2\pi fL$ is the inductive reactance and $X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi fC}$ is the capacitive reactance. Given $f = 50\,Hz$, $L = 0.50\,H$, and $C = 60\,\mu F = 60 \times 10^{-6}\,F$, we calculate $X_L$ and $X_C$, then find $Z$, and finally use $V = IZ$ to find the voltage amplitude.1. Calculate $X_L = 2\pi(50)(0.50) = 157\,\Omega$.2. Calculate $X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi(50)(60 \times 10^{-6})} \approx 53.05\,\Omega$.3. Calculate $Z = \sqrt{50^2 + (157 - 53.05)^2} \approx 164.9\,\Omega$.4. Calculate $V = 3.1 \times 164.9 \approx 510\,V$.Therefore, the voltage amplitude of the source is approximately 510 V.

Question 19

An alternating current is supplied to an electronic component with a warning that the voltage across it should never exceed 12 V.What is the highest rms voltage that can be supplied to this component while staying below the voltage limit in the warning?
A) 6  V
B) 12  V
C) 144 V
D) 6 V

Accepted Answer

The rms voltage of an AC source is equal to its peak voltage divided by the square root of two (V_rms= V_peak/√2). Therefore, to ensure that the voltage across the component never exceeds 12 V, the peak voltage must be limited to 12√2= 16.97 V. The highest rms voltage that can be supplied to the component is 16.97/√2= 12 V. However, the question asks for the highest rms voltage that is below the voltage limit, so the answer is half of that or 6 V.

Question 20

A series ac circuit consists of an inductor having a reactance of 80 Ω and an inductance of 190 mH,a 40-Ω resistor,a capacitor whose reactance is 100 Ω,and an ac source.The rms current in the circuit is measured to be 2.2 A.What is the rms voltage of the source?
A) 98 V
B) 96 V
C) 93 V
D) 91 V
E) 88 V

Accepted Answer

The rms voltage of the source can be calculated using the formula $V = IZ$, where $V$ is the rms voltage, $I$ is the rms current, and $Z$ is the impedance of the circuit. The impedance $Z$ of a series RLC circuit is given by $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}$, where $R$ is the resistance, $X_L$ is the inductive reactance, and $X_C$ is the capacitive reactance. Substituting the given values, $Z = \sqrt{40^2 + (80 - (-100))^2} = \sqrt{1600 + 180^2} = \sqrt{1600 + 32400} = \sqrt{34000} = 184.39 \Omega$. Therefore, the rms voltage $V = 2.2 A \times 184.39 \Omega = 405.658 V$. However, this calculation seems to have an error in interpretation of the correct answer options provided, indicating a mistake in the calculation process. Correctly calculating, the impedance should be considered with the correct subtraction for reactances, and the final voltage calculation should align with the provided options. Correcting the calculation: $Z = \sqrt{40^2 + (80 - 100)^2} = \sqrt{1600 + 400} = \sqrt{2000} = 44.72 \Omega$. Then, $V = IZ = 2.2 \times 44.72 = 98.384 V$, which rounds to approximately 98 V, matching option A. The initial calculation provided was incorrect; the correct approach gives us the answer as 98 V, aligning with option A.
