Question

A telephone wire of length 200 km has a capacitance of 0.014 µF per km. If it carries an ac of frequency 5 kHz, what should be the value of an inductor required to be connected in series so that the impedance of the circuit is minimum

Moderate
Solution

Capacitance of wire

C = 0.014 \times {10^{ - 6}} \times 200 = 2.8 \times {10^{ - 6}}F = 2.8\mu F

For impedance of the circuit to be minimum

{X_L} = {X_C} \Rightarrow 2\pi \nu L = \frac{1}{{2\pi \nu C}}

\Rightarrow L = \frac{1}{{4{\pi ^2}{\nu ^2}C}}= \frac{1}{\4{(3.14)^2}\times({5}\times10^3)^2\times2.8\times10^-6}

= 0.35 \times {10^{ - 3}}H = 0.35\,mH
