21. If an AC voltage wave has an instantaneous value of 90V at 30°, find the peak value.
To find the peak value of an AC voltage wave when you know the instantaneous value and phase
angle, you can use the formula:
Peak Voltage (V_peak) = Instantaneous Voltage (V_instantaneous) / sin(Phase Angle)
In this case, V_instantaneous is 90V, and the phase angle is 30 degrees.
V_peak = 90V / sin(30°)
Now, calculate:
V_peak = 90V / sin(30°) ≈ 180V
So, the peak value of the AC voltage wave is approximately 180 volts.

22. An electric stove draws 7.5 A from a 120-V DC source. What is the maximum value of an
alternating current which will produce heat at the same rate? Find the power drawn from the ac
line.
To find the maximum value of alternating current (AC) that will produce heat at the same rate as
the given DC source, you can use the concept of power. The power (P) consumed by an electrical
device can be calculated using the formula:

P=V*I

Where:
P is power (in watts)
V is voltage (in volts)
I is current (in amperes)

For the DC source:

V_dc = 120 V
I_dc = 7.5 A

P_dc = V_dc * I_dc = 120 V * 7.5 A = 900 watts

Now, to find the maximum AC current (I_ac) that will produce the same amount of heat:

P_ac = V_ac * I_ac

We know that the power (P) for AC must be the same as for DC:

P_ac = P_dc = 900 watts

We already have V_ac, which is the same as V_dc (120 V), so we can rearrange the formula to
solve for I_ac:

I_ac = P_ac / V_ac

I_ac = 900 watts / 120 V
I_ac = 7.5 A
So, the maximum value of alternating current (AC) that will produce heat at the same rate as the
given DC source is 7.5 amperes.

23. 120-Hz 20-mA ac current is present in a 10-H inductor. What is the reactance of the
inductor and the voltage drop across the inductor?
To find the reactance of the inductor (X_L) and the voltage drop across it, you can use the
following formulas:

1. Reactance of an inductor (X_L):

X_L = 2πfL

Where:
- X_L is the inductive reactance (in ohms)
- f is the frequency of the AC current (in hertz)
- L is the inductance of the inductor (in henrys)

In this case:
- f = 120 Hz
- L = 10 H

X_L = 2π * 120 Hz * 10 H = 2400π ohms ≈ 7539.82 ohms

So, the reactance of the inductor is approximately 7539.82 ohms.

2. Voltage drop across the inductor (V_L):

V_L = I * X_L

Where:
- V_L is the voltage drop across the inductor (in volts)
- I is the current flowing through the inductor (in amperes)
- X_L is the inductive reactance (in ohms)

In this case:
- I = 20 mA = 0.02 A
- X_L ≈ 7539.82 ohms (as calculated above)

V_L = 0.02 A * 7539.82 ohms ≈ 150.80 volts

So, the voltage drop across the inductor is approximately 150.80 volts.

24. A 255-μH choke coil of negligible resistance is to limit the current through it to 25 mA when
40V are impressed across it. What is the frequency of the current?
To find the frequency of the current passing through a 255 μH choke coil when the voltage across
it is 40V and the current is limited to 25 mA, you can use the formula for inductive reactance
(X_L) and Ohm's law for AC circuits:

1. Calculate the inductive reactance (X_L) of the choke coil:

X_L = L * 2πf

Where:
- X_L is the inductive reactance (in ohms)
- L is the inductance of the choke coil (in henrys)
- f is the frequency of the current (in hertz)

In this case:
- L = 255 μH = 255 * 10^(-6) H
- X_L = 40V / 0.025 A = 1600 ohms (using Ohm's law, V = IR)

Now, rearrange the formula to solve for the frequency (f):

2πf = X_L / L

f = (X_L / L) / (2π)

f = (1600 ohms / (255 * 10^(-6) H)) / (2π)

Now, calculate the frequency (f):

f ≈ 99.86 kHz

So, the frequency of the current passing through the choke coil is approximately 99.86 kHz.

25. A 120-V 60-Hz ac voltage is impressed across a series circuit of a 10-R resistor and a
capacitor whose reactance is 15 R. Find the impedance and phase angle.
To find the impedance (Z) and phase angle (φ) of a series circuit consisting of a 10-ohm resistor
and a capacitor with a reactance of 15 ohms when a 120-V, 60-Hz AC voltage is applied, you can
use the following formulas:

1. Impedance (Z) of a series circuit with a resistor and capacitor:

Z = √(R^2 + (X_C - X_L)^2)

2. Phase angle (φ) of the impedance:

φ = arctan((X_C - X_L) / R)

Where:
- Z is the impedance (in ohms).
- R is the resistance (in ohms).
- X_C is the capacitive reactance (in ohms).
- X_L is the inductive reactance (in ohms).

In this case:
- R = 10 ohms (resistor)
- X_C = -15 ohms (negative because it's capacitive reactance)
- X_L = 0 ohms (since there's no inductor mentioned)

Now, let's calculate Z:

Z = √(10^2 + (-15 - 0)^2)

Z = √(100 + 225)
Z = √325 ≈ 18.03 ohms

So, the impedance of the circuit is approximately 18.03 ohms.

Now, calculate the phase angle φ:

φ = arctan((-15 - 0) / 10)
φ = arctan(-1.5)

Using a calculator to find the arctan(-1.5), you get approximately -56.31 degrees.

So, the phase angle (φ) is approximately -56.31 degrees.

26. A 30ohm resistor, a 40ohm inductive reactance, and a 60ohm capacitive reactance are
connected in parallel across a 120-V 60-Hz ac line. Find apparent, effective and reactive power. Is
the current leading or lagging?Find the current, apparent, true and reactive power.

To find the apparent, effective (true), and reactive power for the parallel combination of a 30-
ohm resistor, a 40-ohm inductive reactance, and a 60-ohm capacitive reactance connected across
a 120-V 60-Hz AC line, we'll follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total impedance (Z_total) for the parallel circuit using the formula:

1/Z_total = 1/Z_R + 1/Z_L - 1/Z_C

Where:
- Z_R is the impedance of the resistor (30 ohms).
- Z_L is the impedance of the inductive reactance (j40 ohms, since it's inductive).
- Z_C is the impedance of the capacitive reactance (-j60 ohms, since it's capacitive).
 Calculate each of them:
- 1/Z_R = 1/30 ohms
- 1/Z_L = 1/j40 ohms
- 1/Z_C = 1/(-j60 ohms)

Add these reciprocals to find 1/Z_total and then take the reciprocal again to find Z_total.

2. Calculate the current (I) flowing through the parallel circuit using Ohm's law: I = V / Z_total,
where V is the voltage (120V).

3. Calculate the apparent power (S) using the formula: S = V * I

4. Calculate the effective (true) power (P) using the formula: P = V * I * cos(φ), where φ is the
phase angle between the voltage and current.

5. Calculate the reactive power (Q) using the formula: Q = V * I * sin(φ)

Now, let's calculate these values:

1. Calculate Z_total:
1/Z_R = 1/30 ohms
1/Z_L = 1/j40 ohms
1/Z_C = 1/(-j60 ohms)

1/Z_total = 1/30 + 1/j40 - 1/(-j60)

1/Z_total ≈ 0.0333 + j0.025 - j0.0167

Take the reciprocal to find Z_total:

Z_total ≈ 21.43 - j12 ohms

2. Calculate the current (I):

I = V / Z_total
I = 120V / (21.43 - j12) ≈ 4.47∠-30.96 degrees A

3. Calculate apparent power (S):

S=V*I
S = 120V * 4.47∠-30.96 degrees A ≈ 536.4 VA (volt-amperes)

4. Calculate effective (true) power (P):

P = V * I * cos(φ)
P = 120V * 4.47 A * cos(-30.96 degrees) ≈ 537.72 W (watts)

5. Calculate reactive power (Q):

 Q = V * I * sin(φ)
Q = 120V * 4.47 A * sin(-30.96 degrees) ≈ -260.16 var (volt-amperes reactive)

The negative sign for Q indicates that the circuit is capacitive, which means the current is leading
the voltage.

So, to summarize:
- Apparent Power (S) ≈ 536.4 VA
- Effective (True) Power (P) ≈ 537.72 W
- Reactive Power (Q) ≈ -260.16 var
- The current is leading the voltage by approximately 30.96 degrees.
