A resistance of 7 ohm is connected in series with an inductance of 31.8mH. The circuit is connected to a 100V 50Hz sinusoidal supply. Calculate the voltage across the resistor.
A resistance of 7 ohm is connected in series with an inductance of 31.8mH. The circuit is connected to a 100V 50Hz sinusoidal supply. Calculate the voltage across the resistor. Correct Answer 57.4V
XL=2*π*f*L = 10 ohm. Z2=(R2+XL2) Therefore, the total impedance Z = 12.2ohm. V=IZ, therefore I=V/Z=100/12.2 = 8.2A. Voltage across resistor = 8.2*7 = 57.4V.
