A battery of emf E is connected in series with a resistor, an inductor L. and a switch S. A capacitor C is connected in parallel to the inductor. When the switch is left in the closed position for a long time, the potential difference across the capacitor is zero. The switch is opened and the maximum potential difference across the capacitor is measured to be 140 V. Determine the capacitance of the capacitor if E = 60 V, R = 125 N, and L = 54.0 mH.

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
