In an RLC series Circuit, the source has an rms potential difference V=60 V and a frequency of 250/pi Hz, while R=50 Ohm and C= 10 uF. If the peak potential difference across R is 25 V, find L. (There are two possible values)
Capacitive reactance
XC=1/2pifC =1/2pi*(250/pi)*(10*10-6) =200 ohms
Current flowing in the circuit
Ip=VR/R =25/60 =0.4167 A
rms current
Irms=0.4167/sqrt(2) =0.2946 A
Impedance
Z=V/I =60/0.2946=203.646753 ohms
Impedance
Z=sqrt[R2+(XL-XC)2]
203.646753 =sqrt[502+(XL-200)2]
41472 =2500 + (XL-200)2
XL-200 =(+ or -) 197.4
Case 1 :
XL-200 =-197.4
XL=2.6 ohms
L=XL/2pif =2.6/2pi*(250/pi)
L=5.173*10-3 H
Case 2:
XL-200 =197.4
XL=397.4 ohms
=>L=397.4/2pi*(250/pi)
L=0.795 H
