Question

1.) Following Activity 2-1, a 488 nF capacitor (C) is connected in series with a 543 ? reference resistor (R0). [See Figure 8.4 in the manual.] Vmax, the signal generator?samplitude (or magnitude or peak voltage), is set to 3.87 V and f, the generator?s frequency, is set to 45.0 Hz.

a.) The impedance of the circuit is:

b.) The amplitude of the voltage across R0 is:

c.) The amplitude of the voltage across C is:

d.) The phase shift between the current through the circuit and the driving voltage is:

Explanation / Answer

a)

Capacitive reactance

Xc=1/2pifC =1/2pi*45*(488*10^-9)

Xc=7247.5 ohms

Impedance

Z=sqrt[R^2+Xc^2]=sqrt[543^2+7247.5^2]

Z=7267.8 ohms

b)

Total current in the circuit

I=V/Z =3.87/7267.8

I=5.325*10^-4 A

Voltage across Ro is

Vr =I*Ro =5.325*10^-4*543

Vr=0.289 Volts =0.29 Volts

c)

Vc=I*Xc =5.325*10^-4*7247.5

Vc=3.86 Volts

d)

o=tan^-1(-Xc/Ro) =tan^-1(-7247.5/543)

o=-85.72 degrees


at f=772 Hz


e)

Xc=1/2pi*772*(488*10^-9)

Xc=422.46 ohms

Z=sqrt[543^2+422.46^2]

Z=687.98 ohms

f)

I=V/Z =3.87/687.98

I=5.625*10^-3 A

Vr =5.625*10^-3*543

Vr =3.05 Volts

g)

Vc =5.625*10^-3*422.46

Vc=2.38 Volts

h)

o=tan^-1(-422.46/543)

o=-37.88 degrees


For inductor

i)

Inductive reactance

XL=2pifL=2pi*45*826*10^-3

XL=233.55 ohms

Impedance

Z=sqrt[R^2+XL^2] =sqrt[543^2+233.55^2]

Z=591.1 ohms

j)

Total current

I=V/Z =3.87/591.1

I=6.547*10^-3 Volts

Vr =I*Ro =6.547*10^-3*543

Vr=3.555 Volts

k)

VL=I*XL= 6.547*10^-3*233.55

VL=1.529 Volts

l)

o=tan^-1(XL/R) =tan^-1(233.55/543)

o=23.27 degrees


at f=772 Hz

m)

XL=2pi*772*0.826

XL=4006.6 ohms

Z=sqrt[543^2+4006.6^2]

Z=4043.24 ohms

n)

I=V/Z =3.87/4043.24

I=9.57*10^-4 Amps

Vr=I*Ro=9.57*10^-4*543

Vr=0.5196 Volts

o)

VL=9.57*10^-4*4006.6

VL=3.8343 Volts

p)

o=tan^-1(4006.6/543)
