7.14 Obtain the answers (a) to (b) in Exercise 7.13 if the circuit is connected to a high-frequency supply (240 V, 10 kHz). Hence, explain the statement that at very high frequency, an inductor in a circuit nearly amounts to an open circuit. How does an inductor behave in a dc circuit after the steady-state?
Given,
Inductance, 𝐿 = 0.50 H
Resistance, 𝑅 = 100 Ω
rms voltage, 𝑉rms = 240 V
frequency, 𝑓 = 10 kHz
(a) The maximum current in the coil,
Im=√2×Vrms√X2L+R2
For an inductive circuit
XL=2π×10kHz×0.5H=31415.9
So, The maximum current in the coil,
Im=√2×240V√(31415.9Ω)2+(100Ω)2=1.1×10−2A
(b)
tanϕ=ωLR=2π×104×0.5100=100πϕ=tan−1100π=89.82∘=89.82π180 Timelag =ϕω=89.82π180×2π×50=25μS
𝐼m in this case, is too small, so it can be concluded that at high frequencies an
inductor behaves as the open circuit.
