Physics Question on Alternating current
A 750 Hz, 20 V source is connected to a resistance of 100Ω, an inductance of 0.1803 H and a capacitance of 10?F all in series. Calculate the time in which the resistance (thermal capacity 2J∘C−1) will get heated by 10∘C.
A
348 s
B
353 s
C
365 s
D
370 s
Answer
348 s
Explanation
Solution
As, XL=ωL=2πυL=2π?750?0.1803=849.2Ω and XC=ωC1=2πυC1=2π?750?10−51=21.2Ω so, X=XL−XC=849.2−21.2=828Ω Hence, Z=R2+X2=(100)2+(828)2=834Ω Paυ=VrmsIrmscosϕ=Vrms×ZVrms×ZR i.e., Paυ=(ZVrms)2×R=(83420)2×100=0.0575W And as, U=P?t=mc?θ ∴t=Pmc??θ= 0.05752×10= 348 s
