Then the current (a) increases, (b) does not change, (c) may increase or decrease depending on the magnitude of the original frequency, (d) may increase or decrease depending on the magnitude of the resistance, (e) decreases. Determine the oncept Because the current through the resistor is given by NBA ω, is directly proportional to ω. (a) is correct. f the inductance value is tripled in a circuit consisting solely of a variable inductor and a variable capacitor, how would you he to change the capacitance so that the natural frequency of the circuit is unchanged?

(d) The maximum energy stored in the inductor is larger than the maximum energy stored in the capacitor. (e) You cannot compare the maximum energies based on the data given because the ratio of the maximum energies depends on the actual capacitance and inductance values. Determine the oncept The maximum energy stored in the electric field of the Q capacitor is given byu e and the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is given by U m. Because energy is conserved in an circuit and oscillates between the inductor and the capacitor, U e U m U total. is correct. ( a) True or false: (a) A driven series circuit that has a high Q factor has a narrow resonance curve. (b) A circuit consists solely of a resistor, an inductor and a capacitor, all connected in series. f the resistance of the resistor is doubled, the natural frequency of the circuit remains the same. (c) At resonance, the impedance of a driven series combination equals the resistance. (d) At resonance, the current in a driven series circuit is in phase with the voltage applied to the combination. (a) True. The Q factor and the width of the resonance curve at half power are related according to Q ω Δω ; i.e., they are inversely proportional to each other. (b) True. The natural frequency of the circuit depends only on the inductance of the inductor and the capacitance of the capacitor and is given by ω. (c) True. The impedance of an circuit is given by + ( ) resonance and so. (d) True. The phase angle δ is related to and according to δ tan. At resonance and so δ.. At

(b) The power factor of a driven series circuit does not depend on the value of the resistance. (c) The resonance frequency of a driven series circuit does not depend on the value of the resistance. (d) At resonance, the current of a driven series circuit does not depend on the capacitance or the inductance. (e) For frequencies below the resonant frequency, the capacitive reactance of a driven series circuit is larger than the inductive reactance. (f) For frequencies below the resonant frequency of a driven series circuit, the phase of the current leads (is ahead of) the phase of the applied voltage. (a) False. Near resonance, the power factor, given by is close to. cosδ, ( ) + (b) False. The power factor is given by cosδ. ( ) + (c) True. The resonance frequency for a driven series circuit depends only on and and is given by ω res (d) True. At resonance and so and the current is given by app,. (e) True. Because the capacitive reactance varies inversely with the driving frequency and the inductive reactance varies directly with the driving frequency, at frequencies well below the resonance frequency the capacitive reactance is larger than the inductive reactance. (f) True. For frequencies below the resonant frequency, the circuit is more capacitive than inductive and the phase constant φ is negative. This means that the current leads the applied voltage. 4 You may he noticed that sometimes two radio stations can be heard when your receiver is tuned to a specific frequency. This situation often occurs when you are driving and are between two cities. Explain how this situation can occur.

6 744 hapter 9 Determine the oncept Because the power curves received by your radio from two stations he width, you could he two frequencies overlapping as a result of receiving signals from both stations. 5 True or false (all questions related to a driven series circuit): (a) At frequencies much higher than or much lower than the resonant frequency of a driven series circuit, the power factor is close to zero. (b) The larger the resonance width of a driven series circuit is, the larger the Q factor for the circuit is. (c) The larger the resistance of a driven series circuit is, the larger the resonance width for the circuit is. (a) True. Because the power factor is given by cosδ ω ω +, for values of ω that are much higher or much lower than the resonant frequency, the term in parentheses becomes very large and cosδ approaches zero. (b) False. When the resonance curve is reasonably narrow, the Q factor can be approximated by Q ω Δω. Hence a large value for Q corresponds to a narrow resonance curve. (c) True. See Figure An ideal transformer has N turns on its primary and N turns on its secondary. The erage power delivered to a load resistance connected across the secondary is P when the primary voltage is. The current in the primary windings can then be expressed as (a) P /, (b) (N /N )(P / ), (c) (N /N )(P / ), (d) (N /N )(P / ). Picture the Problem et the subscript denote the primary and the subscript the secondary. Assuming no loss of power in the transformer, we can equate the power in the primary circuit to the power in the secondary circuit and solve for the current in the primary windings. Assuming no loss of power in the transformer: Substitute for P and P to obtain: P P,,,,

(b) A transformer is used to change voltage. (c) f a transformer steps up the current, it must step down the voltage. (d) A step-up transformer, steps down the current. (e) The standard household wall-outlet voltage in Europe is, about twice that used in the United States. f a European treler wants her hair dryer to work properly in the United States, she should use a transformer that has more windings in its secondary coil than in its primary coil. (f) The standard household wall-outlet voltage in Europe is, about twice that used in the United States. f an American treler wants his electric razor to work properly in Europe, he should use a transformer that steps up the current. (a) False. A transformer is a device used to raise or lower the voltage in a circuit. (b) True. A transformer is a device used to raise or lower the voltage in a circuit. (c) True. f energy is to be conserved, the product of the current and voltage must be constant. (d) True. Because the product of current and voltage in the primary and secondary circuits is the same, increasing the current in the secondary results in a lowering (or stepping down) of the voltage. (e) True. Because electrical energy is provided at a higher voltage in Europe, the visitor would want to step-up the voltage in order to make her hair dryer work properly. (f) True. Because electrical energy is provided at a higher voltage in Europe, the visitor would want to step-up the current (and decrease the voltage) in order to make his razor work properly.

(c) How much power is lost in transmission? (d) Suppose that the phase that the current lags the phase of the applied voltage is reduced to 8º by adding a bank of capacitors in series with the load. How much money would be sed by the electric utility during one month of operation, assuming the plant operates at full capacity for 6 h each day? (e) What must be the capacitance of this bank of capacitors to achieve this change in phase angle? Picture the Problem We can find the resistance and inductive reactance of the plant s total load from the impedance of the load and the phase constant. The current in the power lines can be found from the total impedance of the load the potential difference across it and the voltage at the substation by applying Kirchhoff s loop rule to the substation-transmission wires-load circuit. The power lost in transmission can be found from P trans trans. We can find the cost sings by finding the difference in the power lost in transmission when the phase angle is reduced to 8. Finally, we can find the capacitance that is required to reduce the phase angle to 8 by first finding the capacitive reactance using the definition of tanδ and then applying the definition of capacitive reactance to find. 5.
