An alternating current $\displaystyle \mathrm{I}=14 \sin (100 \pi \mathrm{t})$ A passes through a series combination of a resistor of $\displaystyle 30 \Omega$ and an inductor of $\displaystyle \left(\frac{2}{5 \pi}\right) \mathrm{H}$. Taking $\displaystyle \sqrt{2}=1.4$, calculate the
(i)
rms value of the voltage drops across the resistor and the inductor, and
(ii)
power factor of the circuit.
Marking-scheme solution
\(\displaystyle I=14 \sin (100 \pi t) \mathrm{~A}\)
\(\displaystyle I_{rms}=\frac{I_{o}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{14}{1.4} \mathrm{~A}\)
\(\displaystyle I_{rms}=10 \mathrm{~A}\)
\(\displaystyle R=30 \Omega\)
\(\displaystyle V_{R}=10 \times 30=300 \mathrm{~V}\)
\(\displaystyle X_{L}=\omega L=100 \pi \times \frac{2}{5 \pi}=40 \Omega \quad\left[\therefore L=\frac{2}{5 \pi}\right]\)
\(\displaystyle V_{L}=10 \times X_{L}=10 \times 40=400 \mathrm{~V}\)
\(\displaystyle V_{L}=400 \mathrm{~V}\)
\(\displaystyle Z=\sqrt{X_{L}^{2}+R^{2}}\)
\(\displaystyle Z=\sqrt{(40)^{2}+(30)^{2}}\)
\(\displaystyle =50 \Omega\)
\(\displaystyle \cos \phi=\frac{30}{50}\)
\(\displaystyle \cos \phi=\frac{3}{5}\)
