b.Calculate the capacitive reactance.Ω
c. Calculate the impedance.kΩ
d.Calculate the resistance in the circuit.kΩ
e. Calculate the phase angle between the current and the generator voltage.

Answer 1

`Xl=wL=69.11503383 ohm`

`Xc=(-1)/(wC)= -578.7452476 ohm`

`Z=(240)/(140*10^-3)=1.714285714 kilo-ohm`

`R=2.223915928 kilo-ohm`

`\alpha = -12.90698798 centigrades`

Step-by-step explanation:

`L=220*10^-3`

`C=5.50*10^-6`

`Vmax=240V`

`Imax=140*10^-3`

`w=2\pi f=2\pi *50=314.1592654`

The capacitive reactance is given by:

`Xc=(-1)/(wC)=-578.7452476 ohm`

Now, The inductive reactance is given by:

`Xl=wL=69.11503383 ohm`

By the ohm´s law, the electrical impedance is:

`V=IZ`

So

`Z=(V)/(I)`

`Z=(240)/(140*10^-3)=1.714285714 kilo-ohm`

The total impedance is:

`Z=R+jX\\\\` (*)

Where X is the total reactance given by:

`X=Xl+Xc=69.11503383-578.7452476=-509.6302138`

Let´s calculate the real part of Z using (*):

`R=1714.285714+509.6302138`

`R=2.223915928 kilo-ohm`

Finally the angle between the current and the voltage is equal to the impedance angle:

`\alpha=arctan((-509.6302138)/(2223.915928))`

`\alpha =-12.90698798 centigrades`
