Chapter 33 Problem 52

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

Step 1 of 5)

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.
