2. Inductor (L) = 15 mH = 0.015 H


3. Capacitor (C ) = 30 μF = 30 × 10−6 F
4. Source voltage (Vrms ) = 220 V ​

5. Sinusoidal source.

Step 1: Determine the resonant frequency of the circuit.

The resonant frequency (fr ) of an RLC series circuit is given by:


1
fr =
2π LC
​ ​

Substitute the values of L = 0.015 H and C = 30 × 10−6 F:

fr =
2π 0.015 ⋅ 30 × 10−6

1 1
fr = =
2π 0.015 ⋅ 0.00003 2π 4.5 × 10−7
​ ​ ​

​ ​

1 1
fr = = = 237.2 Hz
2π ⋅ 0.000671 0.004216
​ ​ ​

Resonant frequency: fr ​ = 237.2 Hz.

Step 2: Determine the total impedance of the circuit at resonance.

At resonance, the inductive reactance (XL ) and capacitive reactance (XC ) cancel each other out (XL
​ ​ ​ = XC ).

Therefore, the total impedance (Z ) of the circuit is purely resistive and equal to the resistance R:

Step 3: Determine the current in the circuit at resonance.

Vrms
I=

Substitute Vrms ​ = 220 V and Z = 10 Ω:

220
I= = 22 A

VR = I ⋅ R​

VR = 22 ⋅ 10 = 220 V

Voltage across the inductor (VL ): ​

The voltage across the inductor is given by:

VL = I ⋅ XL
​ ​

At resonance, the inductive reactance (XL ) is: ​

XL = 2πfr L
​ ​

XL = 2π ⋅ 237.2 ⋅ 0.015 = 22.36 Ω


[Link] 7/18

VL = 22 ⋅ 22.36 = 491.92 V

Voltage across the capacitor (VC ): ​

The voltage across the capacitor is given by:

VC = I ⋅ XC
​ ​

At resonance, the capacitive reactance (XC ) is: ​

1
XC =
2πfr C
​ ​

1 1
XC = −6
= = 22.36 Ω
2π ⋅ 237.2 ⋅ 30 × 10 0.0447
​ ​ ​

VC = 22 ⋅ 22.36 = 491.92 V

Phasor diagram:

At resonance, the voltage across the inductor (VL ) and capacitor (VC ) are equal in magnitude but 180° out of
​ ​

phase, so they cancel each other out. The total voltage is equal to the voltage across the resistor (VR ). ​

Step 5: Determine the real power, reactive power, and apparent power of each
component (R, L, C, and source) at resonance.

2. Reactive power (Qsource ): ​

At resonance, the reactive powers of the inductor and capacitor cancel each other out:

Qsource = QL − QC = 10, 836.6 − 10, 836.6 = 0 VAR.


​ ​ ​

3. Apparent power (Ssource ): ​

Ssource = Vrms ⋅ I = 220 ⋅ 22 = 4840 VA.


​ ​

Step 6: Determine the power factor at resonance.

At resonance, the circuit is purely resistive, so the power factor is:

Power factor = cos(ϕ) = 1

Given Circuit:

1. Voltage source: 30 V
2. Resistors: 5 Ω, 10 Ω, 15 Ω, 5 Ω
3. Current source: 3 A
4. Load resistor: RL ​

We are tasked to:

1. Find the Thevenin's equivalent circuit using source transformation.


2. Find the Norton's equivalent circuit using source transformation.
3. Find the value of RL for maximum power transfer.

4. Determine the maximum power delivered to the load.


5. Determine the current through RL when power is maximized.

Step 1: Thevenin's Equivalent Circuit

Step 1.1: Simplify the circuit using source transformation

1. Transform the 3 A current source and the 15 Ω resistor into a voltage source:
A current source in parallel with a resistor can be transformed into a voltage source in series with the same
resistor. The voltage of the new source is:

V = I ⋅ R = 3 ⋅ 15 = 45 V

So, the 3 A current source and 15 Ω resistor become a 45 V voltage source in series with a 15 Ω resistor.
The circuit now looks like this:
1. A 30 V voltage source in series with 5 Ω and 10 Ω resistors.
2. A 45 V voltage source in series with 15 Ω and 5 Ω resistors.
3. The two branches are connected in parallel.

Step 1.2: Combine the two voltage sources into a single Thevenin equivalent

1. Find the equivalent voltage (Vth ) across terminals a and b:

Apologies for the incomplete response earlier! Let’s carefully solve the problem step by step.

Step 1: Thevenin's Equivalent Circuit

We will simplify the circuit using source transformation to find the Thevenin equivalent voltage (Vth ) and

Thevenin equivalent resistance (Rth ) across terminals a and b.


Step 1.1: Transform the 3 A current source and 15 Ω resistor into a voltage source

A current source in parallel with a resistor can be transformed into a voltage source in series with the same
resistor. The voltage of the new source is:

V = I ⋅ R = 3 ⋅ 15 = 45 V

So, the 3 A current source and 15 Ω resistor become a 45 V voltage source in series with a 15 Ω resistor.

The circuit now looks like this:

1. A 30 V voltage source in series with 5 Ω and 10 Ω resistors.


2. A 45 V voltage source in series with 15 Ω and 5 Ω resistors.
3. The two branches are connected in parallel.

Step 1.2: Find the Thevenin voltage (Vth ) ​

The Thevenin voltage is the open-circuit voltage across terminals a and b. To find this, we calculate the
voltage across the 5 Ω resistor in the second branch.

1. Find the total resistance in each branch:


1. For the first branch (left):

R1 = 5 Ω + 10 Ω = 15 Ω

2. For the second branch (right):

R2 = 15 Ω + 5 Ω = 20 Ω

[Link] 12/18
2/26/25, 1:35 AM Affordable Chatbot

2. Find the total current in the circuit: The two branches are in parallel, so the equivalent resistance is:

R1 R2 15 ⋅ 20 300
Req = = = = 8.57 Ω
​ ​

R1 + R2 15 + 20 35
​ ​ ​ ​

​ ​

The total current supplied by the sources is:

Vtotal
Itotal =

Req
​ ​

Here, Vtotal ​
= 30 V + 45 V = 75 V:
75
Itotal = = 8.75 A
8.57

3. Find the current in each branch: Using the current divider rule:
1. Current in the first branch (I1 ): ​

R2 20
I1 = Itotal ⋅ = 8.75 ⋅ = 5A

R1 + R2 35
​ ​ ​ ​

​ ​

2. Current in the second branch (I2 ): ​

R1 15
I2 = Itotal ⋅ = 8.75 ⋅ = 3.75 A

R1 + R2 35
​ ​ ​ ​

​ ​

4. Find the voltage across the 5 Ω resistor in the second branch: The voltage across the 5 Ω resistor is:

Vth = I2 ⋅ 5 = 3.75 ⋅ 5 = 18.75 V


​ ​

Step 1.3: Find the Thevenin resistance (Rth ) ​

To find Rth , we deactivate all independent sources:


1. Replace the 30 V voltage source with a short circuit.


2. Replace the 45 V voltage source with a short circuit.

The circuit now consists of:

1. A 5 Ω resistor in series with a 10 Ω resistor (R1 ​ = 15 Ω).


2. A 15 Ω resistor in series with a 5 Ω resistor (R2 ​
= 20 Ω).
3. These two branches are in parallel.

The equivalent resistance is:

​ ​ ​ ​

​ ​

Thevenin Equivalent Circuit:

1. Vth ​ = 18.75 V
2. Rth ​ = 8.57 Ω

Step 2: Norton's Equivalent Circuit

The Norton equivalent circuit can be derived from the Thevenin equivalent circuit:

1. Norton current (IN ): ​

Vth 18.75
IN = = = 2.19 A

Rth 8.57
​ ​ ​

2. Norton resistance (RN ): ​

The Norton resistance is the same as the Thevenin resistance:

RN = Rth = 8.57 Ω
​ ​

Norton Equivalent Circuit:

1. IN ​ = 2.19 A
2. RN ​ = 8.57 Ω

Step 3: Find RL for Maximum Power Transfer


For maximum power transfer, the load resistance (RL ) must equal the Thevenin resistance (Rth ):
​ ​

RL = Rth = 8.57 Ω
​ ​

Step 4: Maximum Power Delivered to the Load

The maximum power delivered to the load is given by:

Pmax =

4Rth
​ ​

Substitute Vth ​ = 18.75 V and Rth = 8.57 Ω:


18.752 351.56
Pmax = = = 10.25 W
4 ⋅ 8.57 34.28
​ ​ ​

Step 5: Current Through RL When Power is Maximized ​

The current through RL is: ​

Vth
I=

Rth + RL

​ ​

Since RL ​ = Rth = 8.57 Ω:​

18.75 18.75
I= = = 1.09 A
8.57 + 8.57 17.14

15 5
0 8

From this data:

1. When it ​ = 0, vt = 40 V. This indicates the open-circuit voltage (Voc ) of the device is 40 V.

Step 2.4: Norton resistance (RN ) ​

The Norton resistance is the same as the Thevenin resistance:

RN = Rth = 5 Ω
​ ​

Step 3: Circuit Models

Thevenin Equivalent Circuit:

The Thevenin equivalent circuit consists of:

1. A voltage source of Vth ​ = 40 V in series with a resistor Rth = 5 Ω. ​

Norton Equivalent Circuit:

The Norton equivalent circuit consists of:

1. A current source of IN ​
= 8 A in parallel with a resistor RN = 5 Ω. ​

Step 4: Verify the Model

We can verify the model by checking the terminal behavior for the given data points:

1. Open-circuit condition (it ​ = 0):


1. For the Thevenin model:

vt = Vth = 40 V
​ ​

2. For the Norton model:

[Link] 17/18

vt = IN ⋅ RN = 8 ⋅ 5 = 40 V
​ ​ ​

2. Short-circuit condition (vt ​ = 0):


1. For the Thevenin model:

Vth 40
it = = = 8A

Rth 5
​ ​

2. For the Norton model:

i t = IN = 8 A ​ ​

3. Intermediate condition (vt ​ = 15 V, it = 5 A):​

1. For the Thevenin model:

Vth − vt 40 − 15 25
it = = = = 5A
​ ​

Rth 5 5
​ ​ ​ ​

2. For the Norton model:

vt = IN ⋅ RN − it ⋅ RN = 8 ⋅ 5 − 5 ⋅ 5 = 40 − 25 = 15 V
​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The models are consistent with the given data.

Final Answer:
