Hi,

I some have problems regarding the parallel RC circuit and it is the admittance magnitude. I have tried to apply the solution that was given to me in the text book. Here is my attempt on the question:

"R=14 Ohms, C=260µF & e is a 990 V, 250Hz power supply. Calculate the magnitude of the admittance of the circuit?"

The solution:

1/6.28x260x 250=2449

990/2449=40424

990/14=70.714

40424^2+70.714^2 square root=339


I need someone to correct me on this. Thanks.

 

Admittance [Y] is simply .....

Y=1/R+jωC

So magnitude, |Y|=sqrt((1/R)^2+(ωC)^2)

Your arithmetic here is wrong. The result is not 2449, but rather 2.449E-6. And besides that you haven't done the arithmetic right, you have used a value of 260 farads for the capacitor rather than the correct value of 260 microfarads.

990/2449=40424

990/14=70.714

40424^2+70.714^2 square root=339

You don't need to involve the value of the applied voltage, 990 volts, because the admittance has nothing to do with the applied voltage.

 

Thanks. I got it now.
