You are an electrician working in an industrial plant. You discover that the problem with a certain machine is a defective capacitor. The capacitor is connected to a 240-volt AC circuit. The information on the capacitor reveals that it has a capacitance value of 10 mF and a voltage rating of 240 VAC. The only 10-mF AC capacitor in the storeroom is marked with a voltage rating of 350 WVDC. Can this capacitor be used to replace the defective capacitor? Explain your answer.
You are a journeyman electrician working in an industrial plant. Your task is to connect an inductor to a 480-V, 60-Hz line. To determine the proper conductor and fuse size for this installation, you need to know the amount of current the inductor will draw from the line. The nameplate on the inductor indicates that it has an inductance of 0.1 H. An ohmmeter reveals that it has a wire resistance of 10 . How much current should this inductor draw when connected to the line?
You are working in an industrial plant. You have been instructed to double the capacitance connected to a machine. The markings on the capacitor, however, are not visible. The capacitor is connected to 560 volts and an ammeter indicates a current of 6 amperes flowing to the capacitor. What size capacitor should be connected in parallel with the existing capacitor? What is the minimum AC voltage rating of the new capacitor? What is the minimum DC voltage rating of the new capacitor? What is the minimum KVAR size that can be used in this installation?
An RC series circuit is connected to a 120-V, 60-Hz power source. The resistor is 25 and has a voltage drop of 65 volts. What is the capacitance of the capacitor?
The circuit in Figure has been connected for a long time. If the battery is disconnected, how does it take the capacitor to discharge to 1/20 of its initial voltage? Take R₁ = 2.00 Q, R₂=4.00 Q, R3-7.00 Q, R4 = 2.00 Q and C= 5.00 uF and ε = 14.0 V. (Your result must be in us. Include 2 digit after the decimal point and maximum of 2% of error is accepted in your answer.) E R₂ R₂ BA

The magnitude of the voltage applied to the electrodes of a welding machine can be adjusted in the circuit below. In the range of minimum and maximum value that variable value resistor can take What is the time interval that the capacitor will charge from 0 to 8 V?
EXAMPLE + 5V – 0.1uF At the instant the switch makes a contact with terminal a, the voltage across the capacitor is 5V. The 10V b 6V 100k2 switch remains at a for 9 ms then moves to terminal b. How many milliseconds after making contact with terminal a does the opamp 8V -6V saturate?
In the diagram below, the switch S has been closed for a long time. A) What is the output voltage Vout? What is the charge on the capacitor? b) The switch is opened, so the output voltage increases. What is the time constant that describes the charging of the capacitor in terms of R and C? c) When Vout reaches 10 V, the switch closes and the capacitor begins to discharge. What is the time constant that describes the discharging in terms of R and C? Hint: Apply Kirchhoff's Rules to both loops and the sum of the currents at the junction above the capacitor in the diagram, and use I=dq/dt. If the switch opens when Vout reaches a lower value, say 5V, the capacitor will charge again, and thus one can cycle the voltage with a time constant determined by the circuit: this demonstrates the principle of operation of an electronic timer. 4R S 15 V Vout R
