31. Alternating Current

What's the impedance of a parallel RC AC circuit?

An AC source operates at a maximum voltage of 120 V and an angular frequency of 377 s^-1 . If this source is connected in parallel to a 15 Ω resistor and in parallel to a 0.20 mF capacitor, answer the following questions: 

a) What is the maximum current produced by the source? 

b) What is the maximum current through the resistor? 

c) What is the maximum current through the capacitor?

You have a 200-Ω resistor, a 0.400-H inductor, and a 6.00-μF capacitor. They are connected to form an L-R-C series circuit. What is the current amplitude?

You have a 200-Ω resistor, a 0.400-H inductor, and a 6.00-μF capacitor. They are connected to form an L-R-C series circuit. What is the impedance of the circuit?

You have a 200-Ω resistor, a 0.400-H inductor, and a 6.00-μF capacitor. Suppose you take the resistor and inductor and make a series circuit with a voltage source that has voltage amplitude 30.0 V and an angular frequency of 250 rad/s. What is the impedance of the circuit?

Consider the parallel RLC circuit shown in FIGURE CP32.72. What is I in the limits ω→0 and ω→∞?

In an AC circuit containing resistance $R$ and reactance $X$, how is the total circuit impedance $Z$ represented?

In an AC circuit, why can't $Z$ (impedances) in series simply be added as ordinary numbers to find the total circuit impedance?
