RLC circuit has a 363 ohm resistor and a solenoid with a 681 ohm inductive reactance. What capacitance should be added to the circuit if the average RMS current is to be maximized when the frequency is 73 hertz?
RMS current is maximum when the impedance of the circuit is
minimum. The impedance of an RLC circuit is minimum at the
resonance condition.
Capacitive reactance = Inductive reactance
XC = XL
1/C
= XL
Where
is the angular frequency and C is the capacitance.
C = 1/
* XL
= 1 / [(2
* f) * XL]
Where f is the frequency of the circuit.
C = 1 / [(2
* 73) * 681]
= 3.20 * 10-6 F
