Physics 2: RLC Circuits

Given an RL charging circuit with battery voltage, ϵ\epsilon = 30 V, an inductor with L = 30 mH, and a resistor of 50 Ω\Omega, how long will it take for the current to reach 75% of its maximum value?

A LC circuit consists of a 10 mH inductor and a 1 microfarad capacitor. If the maximum instantaneous current is 0.1 A, what is the greatest potential difference across the capacitor?

An AC circuit with a 450 Ωresistor, 1.7 H inductor, and a 10 μF capacitor oscillates at a frequency of 50 Hz. If the source voltage is 220 V (rms), find the following:

inductive reactance

capacitive reactance

impedance

rms current of circuit

max voltage across resistor

rms voltage across capacitor

max voltage across inductor

average power dissipated in circuit

power factor

phase angle between current and voltage

resonant frequency of the circuit
