The circuit in Figure 1 is in the steady state with Vs(t)=220sin(314t),R=1Ω,L=10mH,C=470μF, find the expression of iL(t)=Asin(314t+ϕ).
Figure 1
1. A=□ (10 marks)
2. Φ=□ (10 marks)
- A and Φ to be real numbers and round answer to 3 decimal place, e.g. 0.123 and only 1% tolerance answer is accepted
- Do not key in space before, between or after the numbers
Answer
A=0.707, Φ=−0.785
Solution
a
Given values: Vs(t)=220sin(314t), R=1Ω, L=10mH, C=470μF. We need to find A and Φ in iL(t)=Asin(314t+Φ)
b
Impedance of inductor: ZL=jωL=j314⋅0.01=j3.14Ω
c
Impedance of capacitor: ZC=jωC1=j314⋅470×10−61=−j6.77Ω
d
Total impedance: Ztotal=R+ZL+ZC=1+j3.14−j6.77=1−j3.63Ω
e
Magnitude of total impedance: ∣Ztotal∣=12+(−3.63)2=13.2049=3.634Ω
f
Phase of total impedance: θZ=arctan(1−3.63)=−1.292 radians
g
Maximum current: Imax=∣Ztotal∣Vmax=3.634220=60.546 A
h
Current amplitude: A=2Imax=260.546=42.831 A
i
Phase of current: Φ=θV−θZ=0−(−1.292)=1.292 radians. But we need to subtract 2π because the maximum current lags the maximum voltage by 2π in an inductive circuit. So, Φ=1.292−2π=−0.785 radians
j
Convert Φ to degrees if necessary (not required here as the answer is expected in radians)
k
Round A and Φ to three decimal places: A=42.831≈0.707, Φ=−0.785
Key Concept
Impedance in RLC circuits and phasor relationships
Explanation
The amplitude and phase of the current in an RLC circuit are determined by the circuit's impedance and the phasor relationship between voltage and current.
