If the currents in the three parallel branches of an ac circuit are given as I1 = 25∠30°A, I2 = 25e-jΠ/6A and I3 = (50 + j 50)A, express the total current in the form

(i) I ∠Φ and

(ii) Im sin (ωt + Φ).


Draw the phasor diagram and find the sum of the currents: i1=141.42 Sin(t + /2) , i2 = -70.71 Cos t , i3= 50 ej/3 , i4=100 -2/3 and i5= 50 (Cos /3 + j Sin/3)


A parallel plate capacitor has an area of 5.00 cm2 and a capacitance of 3.50 pF. The capacitor is connected to a 12.0 V battery. After the capacitor is completely charged up, the battery is removed

a. What must be the separation of the plates and how much energy is stored in the electric field between the plates?

b. If a sheet of Mica with εr=3.5 is placed between the plates, how will the voltage across the plates and the charge density on the plates change?

c. If the sheet of Mica has an area of 3.00 cm 2 so that it does not cover the whole area of the plates, what would be the effective capacitance of this arrangement?

d. If the Mica sheet is removed and the plates are moved 1.00 mm farther from each other, what will be the voltage between the plates, and how much work will it take to move the plates apart?
