A non-inductive load takes a current of 15 A at 125 V. An inductor is then connected in series in order that the same current shall be supplied from 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Ignore the resistance of the inductor and calculate: i. the inductance of the inductor; ii. the impedance of the circuit; iii. the phase difference between the current and the applied voltage.

(i) The inductance of the inductor is = 43.43 mH (ii) the impedance of the circuit is = 16∠58.61° Ω (iii) the phase difference for current and the voltage applied is Q = 58.61°

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

I= 5 A

V = 125V

Resistance R= Not known yet

Thus

To find the resistance we have the following formula which is shown below:

R = V/I

=125/15

R =8.333Ω

Now,

Voltage = 240

Frequency = 50Hz

Current (I) remain at = 15A

Z= not known (impedance)

so,

To find the impedance we have the formula which is shown below:

Z = V/I =240/15

Z= 16Ω⇒ Z = R + jXL

Z = 8.333 + jXL = 16

Thus

√8.333² + XL² = 16²

8.333² + XL² = 16²

XL² = 186.561

XL = 13.658Ω

Now

We find the inductance of the Inductor and the impedance of the circuit.

(i) In solving for the inductance of the inductor, a formula is applied here, which is shown below:

L =  XL/w

=13.658/ 2π * 50

=13.658/314.15 = 0.043 = 43.43 mH

Note: w= 2πf

(ii) For the impedance of the circuit we have the following:

z = 8.333 + j 13.658

z = 16∠58.61° Ω

(iii) The next step is to find the phase difference between the applied voltage and current.

Q =  this is the voltage across the inductor in a series of resonant circuit.

Q can also be called the applied voltage

Thus,

Q is described as an Impedance angle

Therefore, Q = 58.81°

d would be the most obvious choice to this question. leaders are supposed to herd their underlings like a shepherd to sheep. a leader should also listen to others when they are talking to one other to gain a better understanding of their mission and surroundings.
