100.MET October 2020 Q.10(b)

 

A coil having a resistance of 10 Ohm, and an inductance of 0.15 H is connected in series with a capacitor across a 100V, 50Hz supply. If the current and the voltage are in phase what will be the value of the current in the circuit and the voltage drop across the coil.

             If you are noticing some error in problems kindly comment below.Thanks

Given

R = 10 ohm
L = 0.15 H
V = 100 V
f = 50 Hz

To find

1. Value of the current in the circuit
2. The voltage drop across the coil.

Solution

It is a series circuit , Voltage and current in phase. Therefore it satisfies the condition of resonance.

1. The value of current I = V / R
                                    = 100 / 10
                                    = 10 A

Reactance of inductor X = 2 x pi x f x L
                                        = 2 x 3.14 x 50 x 0.15
                                        =  47 ohm

Voltage drop across inductor = Current x Reactance
                                               = I x X
                                               = 10 x 47
                                               = 470 V
Because of resonance condition,
Voltage drop across Inductor = voltage drop across Capacitor = 470 V

Impedence of coil Z = √ (Resistance2 + Reactance2)
                                 = √  (R2 + X2)
                                 = √  (102 + 472)
                                 = 48.05 ohm

2. Voltage drop across coil  = Current x Impedence
                                        = 10 x 48.05
                                        = 480.5 V
