Question

10) An AC source with deltaV=150 sin (3000t) is applied to a series RLC circuit , with R=200 omega, L=0.1 H, and C=3.3 microF. What are the impedance Z and the phase angle theta? What is the maximum current delivered by the source? What is the average power dissipation in an RLC series circuit? 10) An AC source with deltaV=150 sin (3000t) is applied to a series RLC circuit , with R=200 omega, L=0.1 H, and C=3.3 microF.

Explanation / Answer

Xe = R = 200 Ohm angle 0

XL = wL = 3000 x 0.1 = 300 Ohm   angle 90 degree

Xc = 1/wC = 1 / (3000 x 3.3 x 10^-6) = 101.01 Ohm   Angle -90 degree

Z = R + j(XL - Xc )

= 200 + j ( 300 - 101.01)   = 200 + j199

|Z| = sqrt(200^2 + 199^2) = 282.13 ohm

Phase angle phi= tan^-1 (199/200) = 44.86 degrees

Imax = Vmax / Z   = 150 / 282.13 = 0.532 A

Average Power = ZI^2 cosphi /2

        = 282.13 x 0.532^2 x cos44.86 / 2   = 28.26 W
