Chapter 17, Problem 2PA
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

Three 20uF capacitors are connected in series with each other. A 1k ohm resistor and an LED connected in series to each other as well, but branched in parallel to all three capacitors. How long would the LED stay lit after power is removed? What current would flow through it during the charge cycle if VT=9v?
C) A 25 A electrodynamic ammeter is controlled by a spring having a constant
of 5.7295x 10-6 Nm/rad. The full scale deflection is 110°. Determine the
inductance of the instrument while measuring a current of 20 A. The mutual
inductance at 0° deflection is 4 u H and the change in mutual inductance is
linear with the deflection.
How does the internal resistance of the multimeter (in voltage setting) affect the charging/discharging rate of the capacitor. Explain.
