a capacitor and a resistor are connected in parallel to a 120-v, 60-hz line. the resistor has a resistance of 40 , and the capacitor has a capacitance of 132.6 f. what is the impedance of the circuit in the question?



Answer :

Qwdog

The impedance of the circuit having a resistor of resistance 40Ω and a capacitor of capacitance 132.6F is 2.65Ω

The potential of the circuit = 120 V

The frequency of the circuit = 60 Hz

The capacitance of the capacitor = 132.6 F

The resistance of the resistor = 40Ω

The impedance of this circuit can be found using the formula

                           Z = R / (RωC + 1)

where Z is the impedance

          R is the resistance of the resistor

          C is the capacitance of the capacitor

          ω is the angular frequency

First, let us find the angular frequency
                         

                     ω = 1/2πf

where f is the frequency

                     ω = 1/ 2 x 3.14 x 60

                         = 1 / 376.8

                         = 0.00265

So, let us substitute the known values in the impedance formula, we get

         

                      Z = 40 / ( 40 x 0.00265 x 132.6 +1)

                         = 40 / (14.05 +1)

                         = 40 / 15.05

                        = 2.65Ω

Therefore, the impedance of the circuit is 2.65Ω
