How to get frequency, w (omega), when calculating reactance

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating inductive and capacitive reactance using the formulas XL = jwL and XC = 1 / jwC. A discrepancy arises regarding the frequency value, where the professor states omega (w) as 10000, but the question indicates a frequency of 6 cos(10^3t), suggesting omega should be 1000. Participants agree that this likely indicates a typo in the solution sheet. Clarification on standard frequency values is sought, but the focus remains on resolving the inconsistency in the provided frequency. The conversation highlights the importance of accurately identifying frequency in reactance calculations.

Hi,
I came across a question from our weekly set of questions that involved finding the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance, ie: XL = jwL and XC = 1 / jwC.
In the solution sheet, the professor wrote that the frequency, w (omega) = 10000, however, in the question sheet, it was nowhere to be found. Is 10000 the standard frequency or is there a way of determining it?
I will upload 2 images of the solution to illustrate my query:

Engineering news on Phys.org
The frequency is specified as is = 6 cos(10^3t) in the form Acos(wt). So I think it might be a typo. I think omega should be 1000, not 10000.
 
@analogdesign , Oh yeah, of course. My bad. Thanks
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
