SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating impedance for a resistor, capacitor, and inductor at a frequency of 10 Hz. The impedance for the 4.7 kilohm resistor is its own value, while the capacitor's impedance is calculated using the formula Zc = 1/(jωC) and the inductor's impedance using Zl = jωL. The correct formulas for the capacitor and inductor were clarified, emphasizing the need for complex summation of impedances.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex numbers in electrical engineering
  • Familiarity with impedance calculations
  • Knowledge of reactance for capacitors and inductors
  • Basic grasp of frequency and angular frequency (ω = 2πf)
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the calculation of impedance for AC circuits
  • Learn about complex impedance and phasor representation
  • Explore the effects of frequency on capacitor and inductor reactance
  • Investigate series and parallel impedance combinations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, hobbyists working with AC circuits, and professionals involved in circuit design and analysis.

Homework Statement



calcuate the impedance at the frequency 10Hz of a:

-4.7 kil0 ohm resistor
-1microFarad capacitor
-25mH inductor

Homework Equations


w=2*Pi*f


The Attempt at a Solution


for the capacitor impedance= 1/20*Pi*1*10^-6

for the inductor impedance=(1/20*Pi)*25*10^-3

Are these correct? and how do i solve it for the 4.7kohm resistor??

cheers

The resistor will just be its own value, the total impdence will be the complex sum of all three.

Z = R +j(Xc+XL)
 


Your formula for finding the reactance of an inductor is not correct.
