Solution

a)

Given: The inductance of inductor is 80mH, the capacitance of the capacitor is 60μF, the resistance of resistor is 15Ω and the applied potential difference is 230V and the frequency of signal is 50Hz.

The peak voltage is given as,

V 0 =V 2

Where, the applied potential difference is V.

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

V 0 =230 2 V =325.22V

The angular frequency is given as,

ω=2πν

Where, the frequency of the signal is ν.

By substituting the given values in the given equation, we get

ω=2π( 50 ) =100π rad/s

The maximum current of the circuit is given as,

I 0 = V 0 ( ωL 1 ωC )

Where, the inductance is L, the capacitance is C and the angular frequency is ω.

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

I 0 = 230 2 ( 100π×80× 10 3 1 100π×60× 10 6 ) = 230 2 ( 8π 1000 6π ) =11.63A

Since, the value of current is negative because ωL< 1 ωC

The rms value of current is given as,

I= I 0 2

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

I= 11.63 2 =8.22A

Thus, the amplitude of the current is 11.63A and the rms value of current is 8.22A.

b)

The potential difference across the inductor is given as,

V L =I×ωL

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

V L =8.22×100π×80× 10 3 =206.61V

The potential difference across the capacitor is given as,

V C =I× 1 ωC

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

V C =8.22× 1 100π×60× 10 6 =0.04363× 10 4 =436.3V

Thus, the potential across the inductor is 206.61V and the potential across the capacitor is 436.3V.

c)

The actual voltage leads the current by angle 90°. So, the power factor will be zero and the value of average power consumed by the inductor will be zero.

d)

The actual voltage lags the current by angle 90°. So, the power factor will be zero and the value of average power consumed by the capacitor will also be zero.

e)

The average power consumed by the inductor and the average power consumed by the capacitor are zero. So, the total power absorbed over one cycle is zero.
