An ac source operating at 59 hz with a maximum voltage of 170 v is connected in series with a resistor (r = 1.2 kω) and an inductor (l = 2.4 h). (a) what is the maximum value of the current in the circuit?

I = V/Z

V = voltage, I = current, Z = impedance

First let's find the total impedance of the circuit.

The impedance of the resistor is:

= R

R = resistance

Given values:

R = 1200Ω

Plug in:

= 1200Ω

The impedance of the inductor is:

= j2πfL

f = source frequency, L = inductance

Given values:

f = 59Hz, L = 2.4H

Plug in:

= j2π(59)(2.4) = j889.7Ω

Add up the individual impedances to get the Z, and convert Z to polar form:

Z = +

Z = 1200 + j889.7

Z = 1494∠36.55°Ω

I = V/Z

Given values:

V = 170∠0°V (assume 0 initial phase)

Z = 1494∠36.55°Ω

I = 170∠0°/1494∠36.55°Ω

I = 0.1138∠-36.55°A

Round the magnitude of I to 2 significant figures and now you have your maximum current:

I = 0.11A

in most common fires, oxygen is needed for an oxidation reaction to takes place. the combination of oxygen with any element as fuel can create fire and combustion will occur especially if wood, light materials and other combustible things are combine with oxygen.
