Radios use resonance in order to tune-in to a particular station. A physics student builds a simple radio using a RLC series circuit. They decide to use a resistor with R = 33.5 Q, but they only have one capacitor with capacitance C = 190 pF. To listen to their favorite station KXY 88.8 FM, which is at a frequency of 88.8 MHz, what must be the inductance L of their circuit's inductor? L = H When they tune-in to KXY 88.8 FM, they measure a rms current of 0.0283 A. What is the rms voltage Vms across the circuit when they tune-in? Vims = V

When a wire carries an AC current with a known frequency, you can use a Rogowski coil to determine the amplitude Imax of the current without disconnecting the wire to shunt the current through a meter. The Rogowski coil, shown in Figure P23.8, simply clips around the wire. It consists of a toroidal conductor wrapped around a circular return cord. Let n represent the number of turns in the toroid per unit distance along it. Let A represent the cross-sectional area of the toroid. Let I(t) = Imax sin t represent the current to be measured. (a) Show that the amplitude of the emf induced in the Rogowski coil is Emax=0nAImax. (b) Explain why the wire carrying the unknown current need not be at the center of the Rogowski coil and why the coil will not respond to nearby currents that it does not enclose. Figure P23.8
