Short Answer

An RL circuit consists of a 40.0Ω resistor and a 3.00 mH inductor. (a) Find its impedance Z at 60.0 Hz and 10.0 kHz . (b) Compare these values of Z with those found in Example 23.12 in which there was also a capacitor.

a) As a result, low and high-frequency impedance are respectively 188.5Ω and 193Ω

b) At high frequencies, the capacitor has a smaller influence, while having a larger influence at lower frequencies.

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition of circuit

A circuit is a closed path via which electricity can flow from one location to another. It could include transistors, resistors, and capacitors, among other electrical components.

Step 2: Given data

Resistance in the RL circuit is R=40.0Ω

The inductor in the RL circuit is L=3.00 mH10-3H1mH=3.00×10-3 H

Step 2: Finding Impedance(a)

The formula for the determination of impedance of inductance can be expressed as,

XL=2πfL………..(1)

Here XL is inductive reactance, f is the frequency, and L is the inductance.

For each frequency, impedance can be expressed as,

Z=R2+XL-XC2

………………(2)

At low frequency, f = 60 Hz, the value of XC=0Ω.

Substituting the given values in equation (1), we get

XL=2×3.14×60Hz3.00×10-3H =1.13Ω

………………(3)

Then, using the given data and value from equation (3), the impedance can be calculated using equation (2), such that,

Z=40Ω2+1.13Ω-0Ω2 =40.02Ω

At high-frequency f=10.0kHz103Hz1kHz=1.00×104Hz, substituting the given values in the above equation (1), we get

XL'=2×3.14×1×104Hz3×10-3H =188.5 Ω

Then, using the given data and value from equation (3), the impedance can be calculated using equation (2), such that,

Z'=40Ω2+188.5Ω-0Ω2 =192.7Ω

Therefore, the impedance at low and high frequencies are 188.5Ω and 193Ω .

Step 3: Compare these values of Z(b)

Compare these values of Z with those found in the example 23.12 , in which there was also a capacitor.

As we can see, at f =60Hz , with a capacitor the value of impedance is, Z=531Ω, that is about 13 times as high as without the capacitor.

The capacitor makes a large difference at low frequencies.

At f = 10 kHz , with a capacitor, the value of impedance is, Z=190Ω, that is similar to the value obtained without the capacitor.

Thus, the capacitor has a smaller effect at high frequencies.
