Question

RLC circuit: R= 2.80 C= 36.4 nF    L= 57.0 nH    E(t)= 12.5 sin [2(3.80 MHz)t]

a) Determine the reactance of the capacitor in the circuit

the answer is 1.15

what is the formula used to calculating the answer?

b) Determine the impedance

the answer is 2.81

what is the formula used in calculating the answer?


c) determine the phase angle to complete the following statement:

The current in the circuit is given by i(t)=Imax sin[2(3.80MHz)t-]

the answer is 4.29 degrees

what is the formula used to calculate the phase angle?

d) For the conditions given, is the current: in phase with, leading, or lagging the voltage?

the anser is, it is lagging

why?


Explanation / Answer

a)

E(t)= 12.5 sin [2(3.80 MHz)t]

>>>> = 2(3.80*10^6) = 2*3.14*3.80*10^6 = 23.864 * 10^6 rad/s

XC = 1/(C) = 1/(23.864e6 * 36.4e-9) = 1.15 ohm

b)

XL = L * = 57e-9 * 23.864e6 = 1.36 ohm

Z = (R2 + (XL - XC)2) = 2.81 ohm

c)

Z = R + j(XL - XC)

>>>> = tan-1 ((XL - XC)/R) = 4.29 degrees

(Notr that i(t)=V(t)/Z = Imax sin[2(3.80MHz)t-])

d)

because =+4.29 is positive
