Example
An ac generator with rms voltage of
110 V is connected in series with a
35-Ω resistor and 1-µF capacitor. At
what frequency must the generator
operate if it is to maintain a current
of 1.2 Amps.

Example
Z = V/I = 110/1.2 = 91.7 Ω
Z2

; f = ω/2π = 1.9 kHz
4. 4
Example
An ac generator emf is ε = ε0∙sinωt,
with ε0∙ = 22.8 V and ω = 353 rad/s. It
is connected to a 17.3 H inductor.
When the current is a maximum, what
is the emf of the generator? When
the emf of the generator is -11.4 V
and increasing in magnitude, what is
the current?
6. 6
Example
An ac generator emf is ε = ε0∙sin ωt,
with ε0∙ = 28.6 V and ω = 333 rad/s. It
is connected to a 4.15 µF capacitor.
When the current is a maximum, what
is the emf of the generator? When
the emf of the generator is -14.3 V
and increasing in magnitude, what is
the current?
8. 8
Example
A 0.4-H inductor and a 220-Ω
resistor are connected in series to an
ac generator with an rms voltage of
30 V and a frequency of 60 Hz. Find
the rms values of the current, voltage
across the resistor, and voltage
across the inductor.
10. 10
Example
An ac generator has a frequency of 1200 Hz
and a constant rms voltage. When a 470-Ω
resistor is connected between the terminals
of the generator, an average power of 0.25
W is dissipated in the resistor. Then, a
0.08-H inductor is connected in series with
the resistor, and the combination is
connected between the generator terminals.
What is the average power dissipated in the
series combination?
12. 12
Example
A person is working near the secondary of
a transformer, as shown. The primary
voltage is 120 V at 60.0 Hz. 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 Rb
=
50.0 kΩ, determine the rms voltage across
the body.
14. 14
Example
A typical "light dimmer" used to dim the
stage lights in a theater consists of a
variable inductor L (whose inductance is
adjustable between zero and Lmax) connected
in series with a lightbulb. The electrical
supply is 110 V (rms) at 62.5 Hz; the
lightbulb is rated as "110 V, 900 W.“ What
Lmax is required if the rate of energy
dissipation in the lightbulb is to be varied
by a factor of 5 from its upper limit of 900
W? Assume that the resistance of the
lightbulb is independent of its
temperature. Could a variable resistor be
used instead?
19. 19
Example
A series RLC circuit contains a 148-Ω
resistor, a 1.50-μF capacitor, and a
35.7-mH inductor. The generator has
a frequency of 512 Hz and an rms
voltage of 35 V. What is (a) the rms
voltage across each circuit element
and (b) the average electric power
consumed by the circuit.

Effective or RMS Value
• The idea of effective value arises from the
need to measure the effectiveness of a
voltage or current source in delivering
power to a resistive load.
• The effective value of a period current is the
dc current that deliver the same average
power to a resistor as the periodic current.

Maximum Power Transfer
• Why use Thevenin and Norton equivalents?
– Very easy to calculate load related quantities
– E.g. Maximum power transfer to the load
• It is often important to design circuits that
transfer power from a source to a load. There
are two basic types of power transfer
– Efficient power transfer: least power loss (e.g.
power utility)
– Maximum power transfer (e.g.
communications circuits)
• Want to transfer an electrical signal (data,
information etc.) from the source to a
destination with the most power reaching
the destination. Power is small so
efficiency is not a concern.
56. 56
Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
Given a Thévenin equivalent circuit of a
network, the maximum power that can be
transferred to an external load resistor is
obtained if the load resistor equals the
Thévenin resistance of the network. Any
load resistor smaller or larger than the
Thévenin resistance will receive less power.
