Homework Statement
A voltage Δv = (120 V) sin ωt (in SI units) is applied across a series combination of a 2.13 H inductor, a 12.8 μF capacitor, and a 15.0 Ω resistor.
a) Determine the angular frequency, ω0 at which the power delivered to the resistor is a maximum. = 192
b) Calculate the power at that frequency.
c) Determine the two angular frequencies ω1 and ω2 at which the power delivered is one-half the maximum value. [The Q of the circuit is approximately ω0/(ω2 - ω1).] Enter the smaller one first.
Homework Equations
Not sure
P = Irms^2 * R
P = IV
z = sqrt(R + (wL - 1/(wC)))
z = V/I
The Attempt at a Solution
I got part a as 192, but I'm not sure where to go with part b. I calculated z to equal 15.0685 but how do I calculate I? Do i have to use z=V/I, but then what value do I use for V? Would it just be 120V? I'm not sure where to take this, so any help would be great. Thanks
