Math Problem Statement

Calculate the equivalent impedance in the given figure and the power consumed in each branch.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate two things:

  1. The equivalent impedance of the entire circuit.
  2. The power consumed in each branch.

Let's break down the steps required to solve each part of the problem.

Step 1: Analyzing the Circuit Components

The circuit diagram shows resistors and inductors, so we will treat it as an AC circuit with impedance values calculated for each component:

  • Resistors have impedance Z=RZ = R.
  • Inductors have impedance Z=jωLZ = j\omega L, where jj is the imaginary unit and ω\omega is the angular frequency.

Since the diagram doesn't specify the frequency of the source, we will assume that all the values given for inductors can be treated in terms of their inductive reactance XL=jωLX_L = j\omega L.

The components in the circuit are:

  • Left branch:

    • Resistors: 2Ω2 \, \Omega, 0.5Ω0.5 \, \Omega, and 1Ω1 \, \Omega.
    • Inductor: j1Ωj1 \, \Omega.
  • Right branch:

    • Resistor: 0.4Ω0.4 \, \Omega.
    • Inductor: j0.8Ωj0.8 \, \Omega.

Step 2: Calculating the Equivalent Impedance of Each Branch

  1. Left Branch:

    • The three resistors (2Ω2 \, \Omega, 0.5Ω0.5 \, \Omega, and 1Ω1 \, \Omega) are in series with the inductor j1Ωj1 \, \Omega.
    • Equivalent impedance of the left branch, ZleftZ_{\text{left}}: Zleft=2+0.5+1+j1=3.5+j1ΩZ_{\text{left}} = 2 + 0.5 + 1 + j1 = 3.5 + j1 \, \Omega
  2. Right Branch:

    • The resistor (0.4Ω0.4 \, \Omega) is in series with the inductor j0.8Ωj0.8 \, \Omega.
    • Equivalent impedance of the right branch, ZrightZ_{\text{right}}: Zright=0.4+j0.8ΩZ_{\text{right}} = 0.4 + j0.8 \, \Omega

Step 3: Calculating the Total Equivalent Impedance

The left and right branches are in parallel. The total equivalent impedance ZtotalZ_{\text{total}} can be calculated using the parallel impedance formula: 1Ztotal=1Zleft+1Zright\frac{1}{Z_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{Z_{\text{left}}} + \frac{1}{Z_{\text{right}}}

Substituting the values of ZleftZ_{\text{left}} and ZrightZ_{\text{right}}: 1Ztotal=13.5+j1+10.4+j0.8\frac{1}{Z_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{3.5 + j1} + \frac{1}{0.4 + j0.8}

To solve this, we will convert each impedance into its polar form, calculate their reciprocals, and then combine them to find ZtotalZ_{\text{total}}.

Step 4: Calculating the Power Consumed in Each Branch

The power consumed in each branch can be calculated using the formula: P=V2Z2×Re(Z)P = \frac{V^2}{|Z|^2} \times \text{Re}(Z) where:

  • V=100VV = 100 \, \text{V} is the source voltage.
  • Z|Z| is the magnitude of the branch impedance.
  • Re(Z)\text{Re}(Z) is the real part of the branch impedance.

Left Branch Power:

Using Zleft=3.5+j1Z_{\text{left}} = 3.5 + j1:

  1. Calculate Zleft|Z_{\text{left}}|.
  2. Use the formula to find the power PleftP_{\text{left}}.

Right Branch Power:

Using Zright=0.4+j0.8Z_{\text{right}} = 0.4 + j0.8:

  1. Calculate Zright|Z_{\text{right}}|.
  2. Use the formula to find the power PrightP_{\text{right}}.
