Consider a series RLC circuit with $R=25 \Omega, L=6.0 \mathrm{mH}$ and $C=25 \mu \mathrm{F}$ The circuit is connected to a 10. - V (rms), 600. - Hz AC source. (a) Is the sum of the voltage drops across R , L, and C equal to 10. V (rms)? (b) Which is greatest, the power delivered to the resistor, to the capacitor, or to the inductor? (c) Find the average power delivered to the circuit.

Key Concepts

Reactive Components and Energy Transfer

Inductors and capacitors are known as reactive components because they exchange energy with the source rather than dissipating it as heat. Their voltage drops can be higher than the applied voltage when considered individually, but because they are 180 degrees out of phase with each other at resonance or under specific conditions, their effects can cancel. Thus, they do not contribute to the net average power, which remains determined by the resistive element.

Average Power in AC Circuits

In AC circuits, the average power delivered is calculated based on the product of voltage, current, and the cosine of the phase angle between them (the power factor). Only components that dissipate energy (typically the resistor) contribute to this average power, while reactive components (the inductor and capacitor) store and release energy without net power consumption over one cycle.

Root Mean Square (RMS) Voltage

The RMS voltage is a measure of the effective value of an alternating voltage, equivalent to a DC voltage that would deliver the same average power to a resistive load. It is particularly important in AC circuit analysis because it provides a consistent measure for comparing the voltage magnitudes in AC circuits and for calculating power.

Impedance in AC Circuits

Impedance is the overall opposition a circuit presents to alternating current and is a complex quantity comprising both resistance (the real part) and reactance (the imaginary part). In an RLC circuit, the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance can either partially cancel each other depending on the frequency, resulting in a net impedance that determines the current amplitude and phase shift relative to the applied voltage.

Series RLC Circuit

A series RLC circuit consists of a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor connected in a single loop. This configuration allows for the combined effects of resistance (dissipating energy), inductance (storing magnetic energy), and capacitance (storing electric energy) when subjected to an AC source. The analysis of such circuits involves understanding both the magnitude and phase relationships between the voltage and current across each component.

Phasor Addition and Voltage Drops

In alternating current circuits, voltage drops across components are represented as phasors, which take into account both magnitude and phase angle. The sum of these phasor voltage drops gives the total voltage of the circuit. This vectorial addition is crucial because even though individual component voltages may be large or out of phase with each other, their vector sum corresponds to the applied source voltage.

00:01 First, we should find the inductive reactants.

00:02 This would be equalling 2 pi times the frequency times the inductance l.

00:06 This would be 2 pi times the frequency of 600 hertz, multiplied by 6 .0 times 10 to the negative 3rd henry's.

00:18 This is giving us 23 ums.

00:22 And then we have the capacitive reactants.

00:25 This would be equaling 1 over 2 pi times the frequency times c the capacitance.

00:31 And this would be equaling 1.

00:33 Over 2 pi times 600 hertz, multiplied by 25 times 10 to the negative 6th ferrets.

00:45 And this is giving us 11 ums.

00:50 So here, the impotence z would be equalling the square root of r squared plus x of l minus x sub c quantity squared.

01:01 And this is giving us the square root of 25 ums quantity squared.

01:07 Squared plus x of l 23 minus 11 so that would be giving us 12 ums quantity squared and this is giving us 28 ums so this would be the impotence rather and from this we can then say that for part a the voltage across the resistor would be equalling the rms current multiplied by r and this would be the rms voltage divided by z the impotence multiplied by r.

01:54 And so this would be 10 volts divided by 28 oms multiplied by 25 umms.

02:04 And this is giving us 8 .9 volts.

02:10 So keep this in mind.

02:12 And then the voltage across the inductor would be equaling the rms current multiplied by the inductive reactants...
