A capacitance C and an inductance L are operated at the same angular frequency.

A) At what angular frequency will they have the same reactance? Express your answer in terms of the variables C and L.
B) If L = 5.30mH and C = 3.40 μF , what is the numerical value of the angular frequency in part A?
C) What is the reactance of each element?

Respuesta :

A) [tex]\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}[/tex]

The magnitude of the capacitive reactance is given by

[tex]X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}[/tex]

where

[tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular frequency

C is the capacitance

While the magnitude of the inductive capacitance is given by

[tex]X_L = \omega L[/tex]

where L is the inductance.

Since we want the two reactances to be equal, we have

[tex]X_C = X_L[/tex]

So we find

[tex]\frac{1}{\omega C}= \omega L\\\omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC}\\\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}[/tex]

B) 7449 rad/s

In this case, we have

[tex]L=5.30 mH = 5.3\cdot 10^{-3}H[/tex] is the inductance

[tex]C= 3.40 \mu F= 3.40 \cdot 10^{-6}F[/tex] is the capacitance

Therefore, substituting in the formula for the angular frequency, we find

[tex]\omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{(5.30\cdot 10^{-3}H)(3.40\cdot 10^{-6} F)}}=7449 rad/s[/tex]

C) [tex]39.5 \Omega[/tex]

Now we can us the formulas of the reactances written in part A). We have:

- Capacitive reactance:

[tex]X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{(7449 rad/s)(3.40\cdot 10^{-6}F)}=39.5 \Omega[/tex]

- Inductive reactance:

[tex]X_L = \omega L=(7449 rad/s)(5.30\cdot 10^{-3}H)=39.5 \Omega[/tex]
