Example 1.7: An AC generator produces an EMF of amplitude 𝑉 = 10𝑉 at a

the electrical component when the AC generator is connected to:

(a) a 100Ω resistor,

(b) a 10μF capacitor,


(c) a 15mH inductor.
Solution:
The AC voltage is 𝑉 𝑡 = 𝑉 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝜋𝑓𝑡 = 10𝑠𝑖𝑛100𝜋𝑡,
Because for each case, there is only one component connected to AC source,
therefore the voltage across each element is 𝑉 𝑡 = 𝑉 𝑡 = 𝑉 𝑡 = 𝑉(𝑡)

Advantage of three-phase system


• Almost, all electric power is generated and distributed in three-phase.
• Single-phase is taken from the three-phase system rather than generated
independently.
• When more than three-phase is needed, they can be provided by manipulating
from three phase power electric.
E.g. Aluminum industry requires 48 phases for melting to extracts aluminum
from bauxite.
• The instantaneous power in three-phase system can be a constant.
• The amount wire is required for three-phase system is less that for the equivalent
single-phase system.
