    Coil Generator
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a homework problem related to coils and generators, specifically focusing on calculating current and reactance. The initial calculations yield a current of 10A and an angle of 54.9° using the given voltage and impedance. Participants express uncertainty about finding the capacitive reactance (Xc) and suggest using the formula Xc = 1/ωC, but acknowledge the need for additional variables. Clarification is sought on which variables are necessary to proceed with the calculations. The conversation highlights the challenges in solving for reactance without complete information.

The Attempt at a Solution



1. I=v/z=110v/11Ω=10A

2. sinø=(Imax)(X)/v=(10A)(9Ω)/110V

ø=54.9°

3. I don't know what to do for this. I want to use Xc=1/ωC and solve for C but I need to first find Xc somehow

Among all the formulas there is an expression for Xc, but there also is a more useful one. Remove the others and you find it !
 
Yea I saw the expressions for Xc but I have a hard time solving for it since I don't have R and other variables that I need
 
You sure you need it ? And what other variables would you want to know ? For which of your relevant equations is that ?

What was it again you wanted to calculate ?
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
