A sinusoidal voltage of peak value $283 V$ and frequency $50 Hz$ is applied to a series $L C R$ circuit in which $R =3 \Omega, L=25.48 mH$, and $C =796 \mu F$. Find (a) the impedance of the circuit; (b) the phase difference between the voltage across the source and the current; (c) the power dissipated in the circuit; and (d) the power factor.

(a) To find the impedance of the circuit, we first calculate $X_{ L }$ and $X_{ C }$.
$
\begin{array}{c}
X_L=2 \pi v L \\
=2 \times 3.14 \times 50 \times 25.48 \times 10^{-3} \Omega=8 \Omega \\
X_C=\frac{1}{2 \pi v C} \\
=\frac{1}{2 \times 3.14 \times 50 \times 796 \times 10^{-6}}=4 \Omega
\end{array}
$

Therefore,
$
\begin{aligned}
Z & =\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_L-X_C\right)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+(8-4)^2} \\
& =5 \Omega
\end{aligned}
$

(b) Phase difference, $\phi=\tan ^{-1} \frac{X_C-X_L}{R}$
$
=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4-8}{3}\right)=-53.1^{\circ}
$
Since $\phi$ is negative, the current in the circuit lags the voltage across the source.

(c) The power dissipated in the circuit is
$
P=I^2 R
$
Now, $I=\frac{i_m}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{283}{5}\right)=40 A$
Therefore, $P=(40 A )^2 \times 3 \Omega=4800 W$

(d) Power factor $=\cos \phi=\cos \left(-53.1^{\circ}\right)=0.6$
