Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the current leads or lags the voltage in a pure capacitive circuit.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

In a pure capacitive circuit, the current leads the applied voltage by .

Explanation of Solution

Description:

Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity (MindTap Course List), Chapter 22, Problem 1RQ

As can be seen from the above figure,

  • At 0°, value for the applied voltage is zero, while the graph for current is at its positive peak.

  • At 90°, value for the applied voltage is at its positive peak , while the graph for current is at zero.

  • At 180°, value for the applied voltage is zero, while the graph for current reaches negative peak.

  • At 270°, value for the applied voltage reaches negative peak, while the graph for current rises towards zero from the negative peak.

From the above pattern it can be interpreted that current leads the applied voltage by in pure capacitive circuit.

Please, I want the solution in two ways: Method 1 (without the Smith chart): Method 2 (using the Smith chart): A short circuit stub of length 0.04λ is used to match a 50 Ω lossless line to a load ZL = RL + j30 Ω. Use Smith chart to find:(a) The distance between the stub and the load.(b) The value of  RL .
THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS QUESTION SECTION BELOW IS THE FIRST IMAGE UPLOADED, WHICH SHOWS A digital synchronous sequential circuit and then comes the questions below:1B) Suppose the flip-flops are 74F74 devices and the AND gates are 74F08 devices.
