Average power to ZL coupling coefficent and mutual inductance M?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the average power delivered to a load impedance (ZL) of 300+j400 Ω in a transformer circuit with turns ratio N1=2000 and N2=1000. The voltage V1(max) is given as 1500 V, leading to a secondary voltage V2 of 750 V. The calculated average power using the formula (1/2)I²R results in 337.5 W, confirming option C as the correct answer. The RMS current I2 is derived from the peak current, reinforcing the use of RMS values in power calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of transformer turns ratio and its effect on voltage.
  • Knowledge of complex impedance and its components (real and imaginary parts).
  • Familiarity with power calculations in AC circuits, specifically using RMS values.
  • Proficiency in using Ohm's Law and the power formula I²R.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study transformer theory and applications in electrical circuits.

Homework Statement

In the circuit of Figure 4-2, let N1=2000 turns, N2=1000 turns, R=0, Z1=0 and ZL=300+j400 (Ω). If V1(max)=1500 V, what is the average power delivered to ZL?
A. 5400 W
B. 2700 W
C. 337.5 W
D. 675 W

Homework Equations


V2=(N2/N1)V1

The Attempt at a Solution


since turn factor is 2:1 then V2= (1/2)V1=750V. and I2=750/(300+j400)= 0.9-1.2i=1.5A (magnitude of polar form)

here is where i get confused. my book for some examples uses (1/2)I2R for power, however i also know the general power equation is I2R. in this case i decided to go with the book's example so to find average power to ZL I used (1/2)I2R and only used resistive part of ZL in calculating power:
1/2 (1.5)2*(300) = 337.5. so i put C as my answer.

The 1/2 comes from taking the RMS value of the given peak value. So ##I_{RMS} = I_{peak}/\sqrt{2}##, and squaring it yields a factor of (1/√2)2 = 1/2.
