PHY 102 Last Minute Prep Objective Question

Question

A series R-L-C circuit has R=100Ω, L=0.5H, C=10μF connected to a 50Hz source v=120 sin ωt. Find the instantaneous current at t=0.10s.
Options
A 0.5A
B 0.63A
Correct Answer
C 0.66A
D 0.33A
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Z = 189.5Ω. Peak current I₀ = 120/189.5 = 0.63A. At t=0.1s, value is 0.63A

Hint

Calculate peak current and consider the time dependency.
