Hello all,
i'm doing some impedance calculations, and what was going to be prove of concept has failed . The diagrams are pretty self-explanatory:
The circuit, simulated in multisim. What i'm interested in is the output RMS voltage at probe 1 (with no load).
My calculations:
Xc = 1/(2*pi*f*c) = 1/(2*pi*100hz*1e-6) = 1591.5ohm
R = 1k ohm
for completeness:
Z1 is just the real part of Z1 which is R = 1k
Z2 is just the imaginary part of Z2 which is Xc= 1591.5 ohm
which gives me, using voltage divider formula ==> vout = 20*(Z2/(Z1+Z2)) = 20*(1591.5/(2591.5)) = 12.28v RMS
Multisim gives however 16,9 volts. I must be doing some fundimental error here. This is not homework, but seemed the best section to fit this in.
I appreciate all comments in advance! Thanks
