Applied Electricity PHY 222 2.0 Tutorial Number 01

This document contains 13 tutorial problems about applied electricity and alternating current (AC) circuits: 1. Express voltage and current phasors in rectangular and polar notation and draw phasor diagrams. 2. Express complex phasors in polar notation. 3. Derive expressions for voltage and current RMS values in rectangular and polar notation for an R-L circuit driven by AC voltage. 4. Define RMS, peak, and average values of AC and why RMS is generally used for AC measurements. The remaining problems involve calculations for electromotive force generated by a rotating coil, power factor correction for a single-phase motor, phasor diagrams for star-connected three-phase systems, power calculations for balanced three

1. Express in rectangular and polar notations the phasors for the following
quantities.
a.) i = 10 sin ωt b.) i = 5 sin (ωt +π/3)
c.) v = 40 sin (ωt +π/6) d.) v = 60 sin (ωt +π/4)

resistance of 20Ω and an inductance of 0.1 H. derive expression for the r.m.s
values of the voltage and current phasors in
a.) Rectangular notation, b.) Polar notation. Draw the phasor diagram.

4. Define the r.m.s value, peak value and average value of an alternating current.

either average or the peak value.

5. A coil of 200 turns is rotated at 3000r/min in a magnetic field having a uniform


density of 0.1T, the axis of rotation at right angles to the direction of the flux. The
mean area per turn is 40cm2. Calculate

connected to 230V, 50Hz supply. Two similar capacitors are connected in
parallel with each other to form a capacitance bank. This capacitance bank is
now connected in parallel with the motor to raise the power factor to 0.95.
Determine the capacitance of each capacitor.

7. Show by a phasor diagram that the sum of three phase balanced current is zero
and hence no current with flow in the neutral connection of balanced star
connected system.

12. A three phase load draws a current of 10A at a lagging pf of 0.65 from a 600V,
50Hz source. The line current reduces to 7.2A when a capacitor bank is
connected across in ; a) Star-connected , and b) delta connected. Find the kVAR
