An Ac Generator Supplies an Rms (Not Peak) Voltage of 180

question 79

Multiple Choice

An ac generator supplies an rms (not peak) voltage of 180 V at 60.0 Hz. The generator is connected in series with a 0.50-H inductor, a 6.0-µF capacitor and a 300- $\varOmega$ resistor.
-What is the peak (not rms) current through the resistor?

• A)0.46 A
• B)0.52 A
• C)0.65 A
• D)0.78 A
• E)0.85 A

Definitions:

Confounding Variables

External variables that can affect the outcome of an experiment, making it difficult to establish a clear cause-and-effect relationship.

Random Assignment

The assignment of participants to categories of an independent variable such that each participant has an equal chance of being assigned to each category.

Systematic Observation

An observational method that involves structured, consistent procedures for recording and analyzing phenomena.

Quasi-experimental Research

A research design that attempts to establish a cause-and-effect relationship but does not rely on random assignment.
