15.3 Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

In an RLC series circuit, the voltage amplitude and frequency of the source are 100 V and 500 Hz, respectively, an R=500Ω,R = 500 \Omega , L=0.20H,L = 0.20 \text{H}, and C=2.0μF.C = 2.0 \mu \text{F} . (a) What is the impedance of the circuit? (b) What is the amplitude of the current from the source? (c) If the emf of the source is given by v(t)=(100V)sin1000πtv \left(t\right) = \left(100 \text{V}\right) \text{sin} 1000 \pi t, how does the current vary with time? (d) Repeat the calculations with C changed to 0.20μF.0.20 \mu \text{F} .
