CIRCUITS 2

1. Obtain the complete power information for a passive circuit with an applied voltage of v=106
cos (wt + 10) V. and the resulting current I = 3.53 cos (wt + 50)A.
Solution: V = 106 cos(wt + 10) =106 L10 I = 3.53 cos(wt + 50) = 3.53 L50
I = V/Z Z = V/I Z = 106 L10 / 3.53 L50 Z = 30.03 L-40 or 23 j19.30
S = V2 / Z = (106 L10)2 / 30.03L-40 = 374.16 L60 VA
XL = V2 / QC = (106 L10)(374.18 L60) XL = 30.03 L-50
QC = VI = (106 L10)(3.53 L50) = 374.18 L60 KVARS

2. A 4,500VA load at pf = 0.75, lagging, is supplied by 60Hz source of voltage 240V. Determine the
capacitance in microfarad necessary to improve the pf to 0.9 lagging.
Solution:
S = 4.5 KVA p.f = .75 f = 60 Hz V = 240 V
P = S(p.f) = 4.5k(.75) = 3.375 kW
QC = (P/cos )[1-(cos2 )]1/2 = (3.375 kW/.75)[1-(.75)2 ] 1/2 = 2.976 KVARS
F = w/2 w = 2f = 2(60) w = 376.99
Qc = V2 / XC XC = V2 / QC = (240)2 / 2.976 = 19.35
C = 1 / (wXC) = 1 / (376.99 x 19.35 ) C = .14mf

3. Let R1 = R2 = 5Kohms, L = 5mH, C = 60nF. Find the resonant frequency.

Fr = 1 / 2 squareroot (60mH x 5nF )

Fr = 9.19 kHz
