- For the circuit shown below, the current leads the sinusoidal
emf by 14.0°.
(a) Use the phasor method to determine the unknown resistance R.
(b) Use complex methods to determine the Zequivalent

A 60.0 Hz sinusoidal voltage is feed, via an ideal transformer,
into the odd centre-tapped rectifying circuit below. For the transformer,
Nin::Nout = 250::250. The diodes are silicon.
The peak value of the input voltage is 4.20 Volts.
(a) Give an accurate sketch of the output voltage. Be sure to indicate maximum
and minimum values on your sketch.
(b) Determine VDC. Determine the RMS value of the output.
Find the RMS value of the AC part of the wave.
(c) Give an accurate sketch of the AC part of output voltage.
Be sure to indicate maximum and minimum values, as well as the
DC offset, on your sketch.
(d) The output voltage is feed into another ideal transformer,
Nin::Nout = 150::300. For the new output
voltage, determine VDC.
(e) Give an accurate sketch of the output voltage. Be sure to
indicate maximum and minimum values, as well as the DC offset,
on your sketch. (Hint - it doesn't just look like a bigger version
of (b). Review how transformers work.)

A flat coil is wound so that it contains a very large uniform
number of turns per unit distance, n, along its radius from a
to b as shown in the diagram below. Determine the field at the
centre of the coil, due to the coil, by direct integration. The
wire carries a current I. Hint - consider a ring of thickness
dr.

Consider a thin spherical shell of radius R carrying a charge
Q. Around the shell, are two dielectric shells of thickness a
and b respectively. Finally there is a last spherical shell carrying
a charge -Q. The relative permittivity of the first dielectric
shell is εa, and
εb for the second. Note
εa > εb.

(a) Use Gauss' Law to find D, E, and P everywhere.
(b) Sketch E as a function of radial distance.
(c) Determine Σp and
ρp for the dielectrics.

A dipole is perpendicular to an infinite conducting plate.
Use the Method of Images to get the induced charge distribution
Σ on the surface of the plate as a function of x
- assume a >> L and keep only terms to first order in L.
-
For the circuit below, find the current through each resistor.
The AC sources are V1 = 4sin(200t) and V2
= 3.5sin(400t). The AC and DC sources have no internal
resistance.
-
A thick conducting cylindrical shell has an inner core and
an outer sheath made of a magnetic material which has a relative
permeability μr. The conducting
shell carries a current density j(r) = Ae-Kr/r and is
directed out of the paper.
(a) Determine H, B, and M for all r, where
r is the radial distance from the centre of the cylinder. Be sure
to indicate the direction of these fields.
(b) Determine JSM and JM
for the magnetic materials. (Information on cylindrical coordinates
is in a math appendix at the back of Duffin.)
