Study Notes

  • Problems on AC circuits are presented, covering series and parallel RLC circuits, resonance, and power factor correction

Series RLC Circuit Resonance

  • A series circuit has a 20-ohm resistance, a 150 mH inductance, and an unknown capacitance, and is supplied with a voltage v = 100 sin 377t
  • Resonance occurs when the capacitive reactance equals the inductive reactance
  • The capacitance value at resonance is 47 µF

Parallel LC Circuit Anti-resonance

  • Anti-resonance in a parallel LC circuit happens when the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal, leading to maximum impedance
  • A 5 mH pure inductance is connected in parallel with a one microfarad capacitor will be anti-resonant at 2250 Hz

Series-Parallel RLC Circuit

  • A 5-ohm resistor in series with a 442.1 µF capacitor, in parallel with a 21.22 mH inductor.
  • The frequency at which inductive reactance equals capacitive reactance is 52 Hz

Parallel RLC Circuit - In Phase Condition

  • A coil has a resistance of 50 ohms and a reactance of 100 ohms, shunted by a capacitor with negligible losses
  • For the voltage across the coil to be in phase with the total current, the capacitor's reactance must be 125 ohms
  • This condition is achieved when the parallel combination resonates, resulting in a unity power factor

Parallel Impedances at Resonance

  • Three impedances Za, Zb, and Zc are connected in parallel
  • At 60 Hz, Za = j8, Zb = -j2, and Zc = 5 ohms
  • The frequency at resonance is 30 Hz

Power Factor Correction

  • A resistor R in parallel with a 20-ohm inductive reactance, connected in series with a 5-ohm capacitive reactance
  • For the resultant impedance to have a unity power factor, the value of R must be 11.55 ohms.
  • Unity power factor means that the circuit is purely resistive

Parallel Resonance and Power Consumption

  • A coil with 50 ohms resistance and 70 ohms reactance is connected in parallel with a capacitor to achieve resonance.
  • With a 120 V source voltage, the circuit draws 97 W of power

Coil Quality Factor

  • A coil supplied with 200 volts draws 2 amperes (RMS) at a 0.707 lagging power factor
  • The quality factor (Q) of the coil is 1
  • Q is the ratio of reactance to resistance in the coil
