1 answer

To solve this problem, we need to calculate a few values related to the RLC circuit consisting of a resistor (coil), inductor, and capacitor connected in series.

Given Data

  • Resistance \( R = 25 , \Omega \)
  • Inductance \( L = 0.19 , H \)
  • Capacitance \( C = 125 \times 10^{-6} , F \)
  • Voltage \( V = 200 , V \)
  • Frequency \( f = 50 , Hz \)

Formulas

  1. Angular frequency \( \omega \): \[ \omega = 2\pi f \]
  2. Inductive reactance \( X_L \): \[ X_L = \omega L \]
  3. Capacitive reactance \( X_C \): \[ X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \]
  4. Impedance \( Z \): \[ Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} \]
  5. Total current \( I \): \[ I = \frac{V}{Z} \]
  6. Voltage across the coil \( V_R \): \[ V_R = I \cdot R \]
  7. Voltage across the capacitor \( V_C \): \[ V_C = I \cdot X_C \]

Step-by-Step Calculation

A) Impedance Calculation

  1. Calculate \( \omega \): \[ \omega = 2 \pi (50) \approx 314.16 , rad/s \]

  2. Calculate \( X_L \): \[ X_L = \omega L = 314.16 \times 0.19 \approx 59.68 , \Omega \]

  3. Calculate \( X_C \): \[ X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{314.16 \times 125 \times 10^{-6}} \approx 25.37 , \Omega \]

  4. Calculate \( Z \): \[ Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} = \sqrt{(25)^2 + (59.68 - 25.37)^2} \] \[ Z = \sqrt{625 + (34.31)^2} = \sqrt{625 + 1175.80} \approx \sqrt{1800.80} \approx 42.43 , \Omega \]

B) Total Current Calculation

\[ I = \frac{V}{Z} = \frac{200}{42.43} \approx 4.71 , A \]

C) Voltage Across the Coil Calculation

\[ V_R = I \cdot R = 4.71 \cdot 25 \approx 117.75 , V \]

D) Voltage Across the Capacitor Calculation

\[ V_C = I \cdot X_C = 4.71 \cdot 25.37 \approx 119.44 , V \]

Summary of Results

  • A) Impedance \( Z \approx 42.43 , \Omega \)
  • B) Total current \( I \approx 4.71 , A \)
  • C) Voltage across the coil \( V_R \approx 117.75 , V \)
  • D) Voltage across the capacitor \( V_C \approx 119.44 , V \)

These calculations confirm the behavior of the RLC series circuit under the given conditions.
