An inductor and a resistor are connected in series across an AC source as in Figure OQ33.1. Immediately after the switch is closed, which of the following statements is true? (a) The current in the circuit is DV/R. (b) The voltage across the inductor is zero. (c) The current in the circuit is zero. (d) The voltage across the resistor is DV. (e) The voltage across the inductor is half its maximum value.

Question
A person is working near the secondary of a transformer as shown in Figure P33.52. The primary voltage is 120 V at 60.0 Hz. The secondary voltage is 5 000 V. The capacitance Cs, which is the stray capacitance between the hand and the secondary winding, is 20.0 pF. Assuming the person has a body resistance to ground of Rb 5 50.0 kV, determine the rms voltage across the body. Suggestion: Model the secondary of the transformer as an AC source.
Solution
The first step in solving 33 problem number 52 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A person is working near the secondary of a transformer as shown in Figure P33.52. The primary voltage is 120 V at 60.0 Hz. The secondary voltage is 5 000 V. The capacitance Cs, which is the stray capacitance between the hand and the secondary winding, is 20.0 pF. Assuming the person has a body resistance to ground of Rb 5 50.0 kV, determine the rms voltage across the body. Suggestion: Model the secondary of the transformer as an AC source.
From the textbook chapter AlternatingCurrent Circuits you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
