A (rms) source is connected to a resistance of an inductance of 0.1803 H and a capacitance of all in series. The time in which the resistance (heat capacity ) will get heated by . (assume no loss of heat to the surroundings) is close to:
- (A)348 s
- (B)365 s✓ Correct
- (C)418 s
- (D)245 s
Answer: (B)
Solution
Only the resistor dissipates energy in the series circuit, at the average rate , where . With , the inductive reactance dominates the small capacitive reactance , so the impedance is large, about , and the power reaching the resistor is only a fraction of a watt. The resistor must absorb J, and the time for this, , comes out close to s.
