A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 283 V and frequency 50 Hz is applied to a series LCR circuit in which `R = 3Omega, L = 25.48 mH, and C = 796 muF`. Find (a) the impedance of the circuit, (b) the phase difference between the voltage across the source and the current, (c) the power dissipated in the circuit, and (d) the power factor.

Explanation

`X_(L)= 2pi v L= 2 xx 3.142 xx 50 xx 25.48 xx 10^(-3) ~~8`ohm
`X_(C)= (1)/(2pi vC)= (1)/(2 xx 3.142 xx 50 xx 796 xx 10^(-6))~~4` ohm
`Z= sqrt(R^(2) + (X_(L)-X_(C ))^(2))= sqrt(3^(2) + (8-4)^(2))= 5` ohm
Phase angle `cos phi = (R )/(Z) OR tan phi= (X_(L) -X_(C ))/(R ) rArr tan phi= (8-4)/(3)= (4)/(3)`
`phi = 53^(@)8.`
