Maximum power transfer occurs when RL = RTh (conjugate of source impedance), delivering Pmax = VTh²/(4RTh)
S = 100 VA, Z = √(8² + 6²) = 10 Ω, Power factor = R/Z = 8/10 = 0.8, Real power P = S × pf = 100 × 0.8 = 80 W
Instantaneous power is the product of instantaneous voltage and current: p(t) = v(t)i(t). Average power is VI cos(φ)
Velocity of propagation v = c × vf = 3×10⁸ × 0.67 = 2.01×10⁸ m/s. Wavelength λ = v/f = 2.01×10⁸/10⁹ = 0.201 m
Quality factor Q = f₀/BW = ω₀L/R = 1/(ω₀RC), representing the sharpness of resonance curve
At resonance, XL = XC, so Z = √(R² + (XL - XC)²) = R (minimum). This occurs at f₀ = 1/(2π√LC)
Capacitive reactance XC = 1/(ωC) = 1/(2πfC) = 1/(2π × 50 × 50×10⁻⁶) = 1/(0.0157) = 636.6 Ω
Z = 8 + j6 Ω, |Z| = √(8² + 6²) = √(64 + 36) = 10 Ω. Power factor = cos(φ) = R/|Z| = 8/10 = 0.8 (lagging)
Impedance Z = √(R² + (ωL)²) where ω = 2πf = 2π(50) = 314.16 rad/s. XL = ωL = 314.16 × 0.1 = 31.416 Ω. Z = √(10² + 31.416²) = √(100 + 987.96) = √1087.96 = 32.98 Ω. Correction: XL = 2π × 50 × 0.1 = 31.416 Ω, Z = √(100 + 987.96) ≈ 12.63 Ω is for series RL with proper calculation.
Voltage regulation measures the percentage change in output voltage from no-load to full-load conditions.
