You have a small electromagnet that consumes 350 W from a residential circuit operating at 120 V at 60 Hz. Using your ac multimeter, you determine that the unit draws 4.0 A rms. What are the values of the inductance and the internal resistance?

An inductor L in series with a resistor R, driven by a sinusoidal voltage source, responds as described by the following differential equation: Vq sin cot = d l L + dt RI. Show that a current of the form I = I0 sin(<*tf - <f>) flows through the circuit by direct substitution into the differential equation. Determine the amplitude of the current (/0) and the phase difference (f> between the current and the voltage source

In a certain LRC series circuit, when the ac voltage source has a particular frequency / , the peak voltage across the inductor is 6.0 times greater than the peak voltage across the capacitor. Determine / in terms of the resonant frequency fQ of this circuit.

For the circuit shown in Fig. 30-36, V = VQ sin cot. Calculate the current in each element of the circuit, as well as the total impedance. [Hint: Try a trial solution of the form / = I0 sin(cot + <f>) for the current leaving the source.]FIGURE 30-36 Problem 100.

To detect vehicles at traffic lights, wire loops with dimensions on the order of 2 m are often buried horizontally under roadways. Assume the self-inductance of such a loop is L = 5.0 mH and that it is part of an LRC circuit as shown in Fig. 30-37 with C = 0.10 /xF and R = 45 O. The ac voltage has frequency / and rms voltage Vrms. (a) The frequency / is chosen to match the resonant frequency / 0 of the circuit. Find / 0 and determine what the rms voltage (VR)Tms across the resistor w ill be when / = / 0. (b) Assume that f, C, and R never change, but that, when a car is located above the buried loop, the loops self-inductance decreases by 10% (due to induced eddy currents in the cars metal parts). Determine by what factor the voltage (VR)Tms decreases in this situation in comparison to no car above the loop. [Monitoring (VR)rms detects the presence of a car.] FIGURE 30-37 Problem 101
