Daily review: Impedance Analysis | Ohm’s Law…

Q: What is the complex impedance (Z) of a series circuit containing a 10? resistor and a capacitor with a reactance of -j20??

10 - j20 ? — In a series circuit, impedances add directly: Z = R + jX. Here, R=10 and Xc=-20.

Q: According to Ohm's Law for AC circuits, what is the correct relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and impedance (Z)?

V = I * Z — Ohm's Law in the phasor domain is V = IZ, where V, I, and Z are complex quantities.

Q: In a voltage divider circuit with resistors R1 (top) and R2 (bottom), what is the formula for the output voltage (Vout) across R2?

Vout = Vin * (R2 / (R1 + R2)) — The voltage divider rule states Vout = Vin * (R_target / R_total).

Q: A circuit has an impedance Z = 3 + j4 ?. What is the magnitude of this impedance?

5 ? — |Z| = sqrt(R^2 + X^2) = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(9 + 16) = 5 ?.

Q: If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains constant, what happens to the current?

It is halved — By Ohm’s Law, I = V/R. If R increases by a factor of 2, I decreases by a factor of 2.

Q: Which of the following is true for an inductive impedance (ZL) at a specific frequency?

ZL = j?L — Inductive reactance is defined as XL = ?L, and in complex form, it is represented as j?L.

Q: What is the voltage across a 5k? resistor if a current of 2mA flows through it?

10 V — V = I * R = (2 * 10^-3 A) * (5 * 10^3 ?) = 10 V.

Q: In a voltage divider using two equal resistors R, what is the output voltage ratio Vout/Vin?

0.5 — Vout = Vin * (R / (R + R)) = Vin * (R / 2R) = 0.5 * Vin.

Q: What is the phase angle of a purely resistive load?

0 degrees — For a pure resistor, the voltage and current are in phase, resulting in a phase angle of 0.

Q: If you have a series RLC circuit, what is the total impedance Z?

R + j(XL - XC) — Total impedance is the sum of resistive and reactive parts: Z = R + jXL - jXC = R + j(XL - XC).
