Question

A 0.143-Henry Inductor is connected in series with a variable resistor to a 208-volt 400-cycle source. For what value of capacitance will the current be (a) 1.04 ampere lagging and (b) 1.04 ampere leading?

Answer 1

Answer:

A.)359.2, B.)2.5 uf

Step-by-step explanation:

E / I = R

208 / 1.04 = 200 ohms

2*pi*f*L = Xl

6.28*400*.143 = 359.2 ohm

1 / (2*pi*f*Xc) = c

1 /(6.28*400*159.2) = 2.5 uf
