Answer:
1.03A
Explanation:
For computing the magnitude of the current in the circuit we need to do the following calculations
LCR circuit impedance
[tex]Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_c)^2} \\\\ = \sqrt{110^2 + (210 - 110)^2}[/tex]
= 148.7Ω
Now the phase angle is
[tex]\phi = tan^{-1} (\frac{X_L - X_C}{R}) \\\\ = tan^{-1} (\frac{210 - 110}{110})\\\\ = 42.3^{\circ}[/tex]
Now the rms current flowing in the circuit is
[tex]I_{rms} = \frac{V_{rms}}{Z} \\\\ = \frac{146}{148.7}[/tex]
= 0.98 A
The current flowing in the circuit is
[tex]I = I_{rms}\sqrt{2} \\\\ = (0.98) (1.414)[/tex]
= 1.39 A
And, finally, the current across the generator is
[tex]I'= I cos \phi[/tex]
[tex]= (1.39) cos 42.3^{\circ}[/tex]
= 1.03A
Hence, the magnitude of the circuit current is 1.03A
