Homework Statement


Two multiple-choice questions on electrical circuits: question 2 gives i = 4 cos(2000t + 11.32°) A and v = 200 sin(2000t + 50°) V with options A to D; question 3 asks for the condition for oscillatory transient current in an RLC circuit, with options R = 2√(L/C), R = 0, R > 2√(L/C), R < 2√(L/C).


Homework Equations


In Capacitance current leads voltage
In Inductance current lags voltage
For oscillations R = 0

3. The Attempt at a Solution

Since current is leading voltage in above question, impedance is capacitive.
Book answer is D for both.
How?

And for 3rd question, should R be 0, else circuit is damped. Oscillations mean undamped system so R = 0.

No. Transient (damped) oscillations are also oscillations.

Two for the price of one ? What is the complex impedance ##Z## in exercise 2 ?

z = v / i = 200 sin (2000t +50) / 4 cos (2000t + 11.32)
= 50 sin (2000t + 50) / sin (2000t + 11.32 + 90) = 50 sin (2000t + 50) / sin (2000t + 101.32)
For this to be resistance the phase angle must be zero which doesn't happen. So I think D cannot be right answer. Resistance cannot vary with time so the sine term must be a constant and not a time variant.
 
I agree there must be something wrong with the book answer for exercise 2.
