Hi All,
I found this forum on google and thought I would sign up as I may use this alot.
I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering at College and we have to do an Electrical Sciences as one of the units.
I'm really quite struggling with my first assignment, the calculations I feel okay with.
but its the units and symbols etc. that I am struggling to come to terms with.
In one question I have to calculate the value of an equivalent capicitor which has the same reactance as my inductor and determine the energy stored within it if a p.d. of 6V is applied accross it.
I have in my notes that
XL=XC
XL= 2pifL
XC=1/(2pifL)
for my question I have XC=1/(2 x pi x 50 x 4.46(mH)) =
basicly i'm wondering is this the correct way for working out the first half of the question, are my units (mH) right for L and what units will the answer XC be in??
Many thanks to those who are able to help.
