Chapter 31 Problem 36

Question

An alternating source with a variable frequency, a capacitor with capacitance C, and a resistor with resistance R are connected in series. Figure 31-29 gives the impedance Z of the circuit versus the driving angular frequency vd; the curve reaches an asymptote of 500 ", and the horizontal scale is set by vds ! 300 rad/s. The figure also gives the reactance XC for the capacitor versus vd. What are (a) R and (b) C?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 31 problem number 36 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An alternating source with a variable frequency, a capacitor with capacitance C, and a resistor with resistance R are connected in series. Figure 31-29 gives the impedance Z of the circuit versus the driving angular frequency vd; the curve reaches an asymptote of 500 ", and the horizontal scale is set by vds ! 300 rad/s. The figure also gives the reactance XC for the capacitor versus vd. What are (a) R and (b) C?
From the textbook chapter you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
