The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given circuit containing an inductance (L) and a resistance (R) connected in series with an AC source. We will use the provided information to calculate the required parameters. ### Step 1: Identify Given Values - AC Voltage (V_rms) = 200 V - Frequency (f) = 50 Hz - AC Current (I_rms) = 10 A - Power Loss (P) = 1 W ### Step 2: Calculate the Power Factor The power factor (cos φ) can be calculated using the formula for power in an AC circuit: \[ P = V_{rms} \cdot I_{rms} \cdot \cos φ \] Rearranging gives: \[ \cos φ = \frac{P}{V_{rms} \cdot I_{rms}} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \cos φ = \frac{1}{200 \cdot 10} = \frac{1}{2000} \] Thus, \[ \cos φ = 0.0005 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Phase Angle (φ) Using the cosine value, we can find the phase angle: \[ φ = \cos^{-1}(0.0005) \] This angle is very close to 90 degrees (or π/2 radians), indicating that the circuit is predominantly inductive. ### Step 4: Calculate the Impedance (Z) Using Ohm's law for AC circuits: \[ Z = \frac{V_{rms}}{I_{rms}} \] Substituting the known values: \[ Z = \frac{200}{10} = 20 \, \Omega \] ### Step 5: Relate Impedance to Resistance and Reactance In a series R-L circuit, the impedance is given by: \[ Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} \] Where \( X_L \) is the inductive reactance. Rearranging gives: \[ R^2 + X_L^2 = Z^2 \] Substituting the value of Z: \[ R^2 + X_L^2 = 20^2 = 400 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Resistance (R) We know that the power loss (P) in a resistor is given by: \[ P = I_{rms}^2 \cdot R \] Rearranging gives: \[ R = \frac{P}{I_{rms}^2} = \frac{1}{10^2} = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01 \, \Omega \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Inductive Reactance (X_L) Substituting R back into the impedance equation: \[ 0.01^2 + X_L^2 = 400 \] \[ 0.0001 + X_L^2 = 400 \] \[ X_L^2 = 400 - 0.0001 = 399.9999 \] Taking the square root gives: \[ X_L \approx 20 \, \Omega \] ### Step 8: Calculate the Inductance (L) Inductive reactance is given by: \[ X_L = 2 \pi f L \] Rearranging gives: \[ L = \frac{X_L}{2 \pi f} \] Substituting the values: \[ L = \frac{20}{2 \pi \cdot 50} \] Calculating gives: \[ L \approx \frac{20}{314.16} \approx 0.0637 \, H \] ### Summary of Results - Resistance (R) = 0.01 Ω - Inductive Reactance (X_L) = 20 Ω - Inductance (L) ≈ 0.0637 H
