Question 2

 

  • A series RL circuit has the following data:
    R =  5 Ω;
    L = 20 mH;
    Supply voltage V = 240 V, 50Hz.  

  1. Draw the circuit diagram.
  2. Calculate the:
    • Inductive reactance of the circuit;
    • Impedance of the circuit.

 

Observation

      

The expected responses were:

 

 

Many of the candidates performed well in this question except those that did not use correct symbol for inductance and the sinusoidal voltage.
