How is Zp solved for in this problem? (Answer given)

In summary: Zp = 5.2787 <26.36' or 4.7295 + 2.344jThe "angle" is called an "argument" and is usually written as ##\theta##, and the length is called the "modulus" and is usually written as ##|Zp|##The modulus is the square root of the sum of the squares of the components, and it is related to the angle by a trigonometric function. The angle is related to the components by an arc-tangent function.You might note that the modulus of 4.7295 + 2.344j is ##\sqrt{4.7295^2+2.344^2}##

Given:
Rs = 0.20 Ω
R'r = 0.17 Ω
Xs = 0.50 Ω
X ' r = 0.60 Ω
Rc = 200 Ω
Xm = 15 Ω
Solution:
at Nr = 1165, slip = (Ns- Nr)/Ns = 0.02916 ~2.92%slip
at Nr = 1195, slip = (Ns- Nr)/Ns = 0.00416 ~0.42%slip
Zp = j Xm || ( (R'r / s) + j X'r )
therefore for i) slip s = 0.02916
Zp = 5.2787 <26.36' or 4.7295 + 2.344j
Ztotal = Zs + Zp = ( 0.2 + 0.5j) + (4.7295 + 2.344j) = 5.69<29.98'
What do the double vertical lines mean in this case, and how is the Zp equation solved? Please show work, thank you. Also how was that equation created? (Trying to study, thanks guys)

Welcome to the PF.

Double vertical or // lines usually means "in parallel with".

Can you post the circuit, and say how you think the problem was solved? Thanks.

Adam - do you really expect that somebody can understand how the various symbols are formed into a circuit?

That is not a "less than" sign, it's the angle of the "vector" whose length is 5.2787
An equivalent way to write a vector is as its x-component and y-component, and in this case it is shown as a complex number, 4.7295 + ##j## 2.344

FAQ: How is Zp solved for in this problem? (Answer given)

1. How do I solve for Zp in this problem?

To solve for Zp, you can use the formula Zp = Z - p, where Z is the total number of elements in the set and p is the desired power. This formula is based on the idea of modular arithmetic, where the remainder of dividing Z by p is equal to Zp.

2. Can I solve for Zp without using the formula?

Yes, you can also solve for Zp by finding the remainder of dividing Z by p using a calculator or by hand. This remainder will be equal to Zp.

3. What is the purpose of solving for Zp in this problem?

Solving for Zp allows you to find the number of elements in a set that are congruent to a specific power p. This is useful for understanding patterns and relationships within a set.

4. What does Zp represent in this problem?

Zp represents a subset of elements in a set that are congruent to a specific power p. This subset can help identify patterns and relationships within the set.

5. Can Zp be negative?

No, Zp cannot be negative. It represents a subset of elements in a set, and all subsets have a positive number of elements. If the remainder of dividing Z by p is negative, the formula for Zp would still result in a positive value.
