EGR 203 Electric and Electronic Circuits Assignment 10

  1. If the current through and the voltage across a component in an electric circuit are i(t) = 17 cos(200π t - π/12) mA
    v(t) = 3.5 cos(200π t - 1.309) V
    determine (use the AC form of Ohm's Law and the definitions of impedance)
    1. the complex impedance
    2. whether the component is resistive, inductive, or capacitive. Assume there may be a resistor in series with either a capacitor or an inductor.
    3. the value of the component in ohms and either farads or henries.

  2. Given the following circuit with C = 31.25 nF, R = 2 kΩ, and L = 500 mH. Find the steady-state (AC) expression for i and vout if vg = 64 cos(8000t) V.

  3. Use Multisim (AC analysis) to plot the AC response of the above circuit as a function of frequency between 100 Hz and 10kHz.

  4. Given the following circuit with C = 0.4 µF, R = 400 Ω, and L = 40 mH. Find the steady-state (AC) expression for i and vout if vg = 750 cos(5000t) mV.

  5. Use Multsim (AC analysis) to plot the AC response of the above circuit as a function of frequency between 100 Hz and 10 kHz.

  6. Given the following circuit with C = -j22 Ω, R = 24 Ω, and L = j40 Ω. Find the Thévenin equivalent circuit with respect to terminals a and b if vg = 75Ð0° V.

  7. Given C = 0.4 µF, L = 10 mH, and R = 330 ohms. For the following, calculate actual frequency (Hz), not angular frequency (radians/sec).
    1. Find the frequency at which the phase shift of the RC circuit is -45 degrees.
    2. Find the frequency at which the phase shift of the RL circuit is 45 degrees.
    3. Find the resonant frequency (fr) for an R-(LC) circuit.
    4. Find the bandwidth B = fr / Q and quality factor Q = R sqrt(C/L). What are the units of Q?
