Answer:
<em>All the calculations are shown in the explanation</em>
Explanation:
<u>RLC Circuit
</u>
The circuit proposed in the problem consists in one resistor R in series with the parallel of a capacitor C and an inductor L. All the impedances, voltages, currents and powers must be expressed as complex numbers since they all have an active and a reactive component. The formulas are very similar to those of the Ohm's law, as will be shown below.
The source has a time function expressed as
We must find the RMS voltage as
The given parameters of the circuit are
(a)
Let's find the reactances
Now the impedances are
The equivalent impedance of the parallel of the capacitor and the inductor is
Computing the total impedance of the circuit
Converting to phasor form
The given voltage of the source is
It has an angle of 0 degrees since it's the reference. Let's compute the total current of the circuit
We can see the current leads the voltage, so our circuit has a capacitive power factor, as shown ahead
.
The voltage acrosss the resistor is
The currents through the capacitor and inductor will be computed with the formula of the current divider
.
(b) The aparent power from the source is the product of the voltage by the total current
Finally, the power factor is
As mentioned before, since the current leads the voltage, the circuit is primarily capacitive
