Question
Problem 18P
The wireless power transfer system is outlined in Figure VI.2. An AC supply generates a current through the primary coil, creating a varying magnetic field. This field induces a current in the secondary coil, which is connected to a resistance (the lightbulb) and a capacitor that sets the resonance frequency of the secondary circuit to match the frequency of the primary circuit.
The power supply drives the primary coil at 9.9 MHz. If this frequency is doubled, how must the capacitor in the secondary circuit be changed?
Solution
The first step in solving VI problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 18PThe wireless power transfer system is outlined in Figure VI.2. An AC supply generates a current through the primary coil, creating a varying magnetic field. This field induces a current in the secondary coil, which is connected to a resistance (the lightbulb) and a capacitor that sets the resonance frequency of the secondary circuit to match the frequency of the primary circuit.The power supply drives the primary coil at 9.9 MHz. If this frequency is doubled, how must the capacitor in the secondary circuit be changed?
From the textbook chapter you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
