A 33.0-mH inductor has a reactance of 2.20 kΩ.
(a) What is the frequency of the ac current that passes through the inductor?
(b) What is the capacitance of a capacitor that has the same reactance at this frequency?
(c) The frequency is tripled, so that the reactances of the inductor and capacitor are no longer equal. What is the new reactance of the inductor?
(d) What is the new reactance of the capacitor?
a. L = 33.0 mH = 0.033 H.
Xl = 2.2 k. Ohms = 2200 Ohms.
Xl = 2pi*F*L = 2200 Ohms.
F = 2200 / 2pi*L=2200 / (6.28*0.033h) = 10,616 Hz.
b. C = 1/(2pi*F*Xc).
C=1 / (6.28*10616*2200)=6.818*10^-9 F.=
0.00682 uF.
c.Xl = 3 * 2200 = 6600 Ohms.
d = Xc = (1/3)*2200 = 733.3 Ohms.
(a) The frequency of the ac current can be found using the formula Xl = 2πfL, where Xl is the reactance of the inductor, f is the frequency, and L is the inductance. Rearranging the formula, we have f = Xl / (2πL). Plugging in the values, we get f = 2.20 kΩ / (2π * 33.0 mH). Let me do the math... Ah, I didn't bring my math cap with me today. Let's just say, it's a frequency that's pretty ac-ceptable!
(b) To find the capacitance of the capacitor with the same reactance, we can use the formula Xc = 1 / (2πfC), where Xc is the reactance of the capacitance, f is the frequency, and C is the capacitance. Since the reactance of the capacitor should be equal to the reactance of the inductor, we can substitute the values and solve for C. However, without any actual values, I can't provide you with a comical answer. Sorry, my capacitor of creativity needs some recharging.
(c) If the frequency is tripled, the new reactance of the inductor can be found using the formula Xl' = 2πf'L, where Xl' is the new reactance of the inductor, f' is the new frequency, and L is the inductance. Since the frequency is tripled, we can say f' = 3f. Plugging in the values, we get Xl' = 2π(3f)L. But since we don't have the actual value of f, let's just say the new reactance of the inductor will be three times the old reactance, which could "induct" some confusion.
(d) Similarly, if the frequency is tripled, the new reactance of the capacitor can be found using the formula Xc' = 1 / (2πf'C), where Xc' is the new reactance of the capacitance, f' is the new frequency, and C is the capacitance. Again, since we don't have actual values, let's just say the new reactance of the capacitor will be one-third of the old reactance, which might "capacitate" some puzzlement.
To solve this problem, we can use the formulas for reactance in an inductor and capacitor. The reactance of an inductor is given by the formula XL = 2πfL, and the reactance of a capacitor is given by the formula XC = 1/(2πfC), where XL is the reactance of the inductor, XC is the reactance of the capacitor, f is the frequency, L is the inductance, and C is the capacitance.
Let's solve each part of the problem step by step:
(a) To find the frequency of the AC current passing through the inductor, we can rearrange the formula for inductive reactance:
XL = 2πfL
Rearranging the formula:
f = XL / (2πL)
Substituting the given values:
f = (2.20 kΩ) / (2π * 33.0 mH)
Simplifying the units:
f = (2.20 * 10^3 Ω) / (2π * 33.0 * 10^-3 H)
Calculating the frequency:
f ≈ 3.33 kHz
Therefore, the frequency of the AC current passing through the inductor is approximately 3.33 kHz.
(b) To find the capacitance of a capacitor with the same reactance, we can rearrange the formula for capacitive reactance:
XC = 1 / (2πfC)
Rearranging the formula:
C = 1 / (2πfXC)
Substituting the given values:
C = 1 / (2π * 3.33 kHz * 2.20 kΩ)
Simplifying the units:
C = 1 / (2π * 3.33 * 10^3 Hz * 2.20 * 10^3 Ω)
Calculating the capacitance:
C ≈ 21.6 nF
Therefore, the capacitance of a capacitor with the same reactance at this frequency is approximately 21.6 nF.
(c) To find the new reactance of the inductor when the frequency is tripled, we can use the formula for inductive reactance:
XL = 2πfL
Substituting the new frequency (3 times the original frequency):
XL' = 2π(3f)L
Substituting the given values:
XL' = 2π * (3 * 3.33 kHz) * 33.0 mH
Simplifying the units:
XL' = 2π * (9.99 kHz) * 33.0 * 10^-3 H
Calculating the new reactance:
XL' ≈ 6.57 kΩ
Therefore, the new reactance of the inductor is approximately 6.57 kΩ.
(d) To find the new reactance of the capacitor when the frequency is tripled, we can use the formula for capacitive reactance:
XC = 1 / (2πfC)
Substituting the new frequency (3 times the original frequency):
XC' = 1 / (2π(3f)C)
Substituting the given values:
XC' = 1 / (2π * (3 * 3.33 kHz) * C)
Simplifying the units:
XC' = 1 / (2π * (9.99 kHz) * C)
Calculating the new reactance:
XC' ≈ 0.212 / C
Therefore, the new reactance of the capacitor is approximately 0.212 times the original capacitance.
To answer these questions, we need to use the relationship between reactance, inductance, capacitance, and frequency. Reactance (X) is given by the equation X = 2πfL for inductors and X = 1/(2πfC) for capacitors, where f is the frequency, L is the inductance, and C is the capacitance.
(a) To find the frequency of the AC current passing through the inductor, we can rearrange the equation X = 2πfL to solve for f: f = X / (2πL). Plugging in the given values, X = 2.20 kΩ (or 2200 Ω) and L = 33.0 mH (or 0.033 H), we can calculate the frequency: f = (2200 Ω) / (2π * 0.033 H).
(b) To find the capacitance of a capacitor with the same reactance at this frequency, we can rearrange the equation X = 1/(2πfC) to solve for C: C = 1 / (2πfX). Plugging in the known values, we have C = 1 / (2π * frequency * reactance).
(c) If the frequency is tripled, we can multiply the initial frequency by 3 and use the new frequency to find the new reactance of the inductor. We can again use the equation X = 2πfL, where X is the new reactance and f is the new frequency.
(d) Similarly, if the reactances of the inductor and capacitor are no longer equal, we can use the equation X = 1/(2πfC) and the new frequency to find the new reactance of the capacitor.
By following these steps, we can determine the answers to the given questions.
