Answer:
Impedance = 19.44ohms
Current = 5.14A
Power factor = 0.62
Explanation:
Impedance in an RLC AC circuit is defined as the total opposition to the flow of current in the resistor, inductor and capacitor.
Impedance Z = √R²+(Xl-Xc)²
Where R is the resistance = 12Ω
Inductance L = 0.15H
Capacitance C = 100uF = 100×10^-6F
Since Xl = 2πfL and Xc = 1/2πfC where f is the frequency.
Xl = 2π×50×0.15
Xl = 15πΩ
Xl = 47.12Ω
Xc = 1/2π×50×100×10^-6
Xc = 100/π Ω
Xc = 31.83Ω
Z =√12²+(47.12-31.83)²
Z = √144+233.78
Z = 19.44Ω
Impedance = 19.44ohms
To calculate the circuit current, we will use the expression V=IZ where V is the supply voltage = 100V
I = V/Z = 100/19.44
I = 5.14Amperes
To calculate the power factor,
Power factor = cos(theta) where;
theta = arctan(Xl-Xc)/R
theta = arctan(47.12-31.83)/12
theta = arctan(15.29/12)
theta = arctan1.27
theta = 51.78°
Power factor = cos51.78°
Power factor = 0.62
