The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined approach in the video transcript. ### Given Data: - Resistance, \( R = 300 \, \Omega \) - Capacitance, \( C = 20 \, \mu F = 20 \times 10^{-6} \, F \) - Inductance, \( L = 1.0 \, H \) - RMS Voltage, \( \epsilon_{rms} = 50 \, V \) - Frequency, \( v = \frac{50}{\pi} \, Hz \) ### Step 1: Calculate Angular Frequency The angular frequency \( \omega \) is given by: \[ \omega = 2 \pi v = 2 \pi \left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right) = 100 \, rad/s \] ### Step 2: Calculate Reactance of Capacitor \( X_C \) The capacitive reactance \( X_C \) is given by: \[ X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \] Substituting the values: \[ X_C = \frac{1}{100 \times 20 \times 10^{-6}} = \frac{1}{0.002} = 500 \, \Omega \] ### Step 3: Calculate Reactance of Inductor \( X_L \) The inductive reactance \( X_L \) is given by: \[ X_L = \omega L \] Substituting the values: \[ X_L = 100 \times 1 = 100 \, \Omega \] ### Step 4: Calculate Total Impedance \( Z \) The total impedance \( Z \) in a series LCR circuit is given by: \[ Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} \] Calculating \( X_L - X_C \): \[ X_L - X_C = 100 - 500 = -400 \, \Omega \] Now substituting into the impedance formula: \[ Z = \sqrt{300^2 + (-400)^2} = \sqrt{90000 + 160000} = \sqrt{250000} = 500 \, \Omega \] ### Step 5: Calculate RMS Current \( I_{rms} \) The RMS current in the circuit is given by: \[ I_{rms} = \frac{\epsilon_{rms}}{Z} \] Substituting the values: \[ I_{rms} = \frac{50}{500} = 0.1 \, A \] ### Step 6: Calculate RMS Voltage Across Each Component 1. **Voltage across Capacitor \( V_C \)**: \[ V_C = I_{rms} \times X_C = 0.1 \times 500 = 50 \, V \] 2. **Voltage across Resistor \( V_R \)**: \[ V_R = I_{rms} \times R = 0.1 \times 300 = 30 \, V \] 3. **Voltage across Inductor \( V_L \)**: \[ V_L = I_{rms} \times X_L = 0.1 \times 100 = 10 \, V \] ### Step 7: Total Voltage Across All Components The total voltage across all components is: \[ V_{total} = V_C + V_R + V_L = 50 + 30 + 10 = 90 \, V \] ### Conclusion - (a) The RMS current in the circuit is \( 0.1 \, A \). - (b) The RMS potential differences are: - Across the capacitor: \( 50 \, V \) - Across the resistor: \( 30 \, V \) - Across the inductor: \( 10 \, V \) The sum of the RMS potential differences \( 90 \, V \) is greater than the RMS voltage of the source \( 50 \, V \).
