Victoria Logo basics
Victoria University Logo Basics factsheet 
version 1.0
September 2007
Produced by Victoria University’s 
Communications and Marketing group
The quality of Victoria University’s communications is a reflection of the University’s standing, professionalism and credibility. 
It is essential that Victoria’s visual identity is clear, consistent and instantly recognised. This factsheet outlines the key rules for 
the use of Victoria’s logo, and illustrates how they should be used in both print and electronic formats.

(a.1) Using Kirchhoff’s rules find the governing differential equation for the circuit in the
figure after the switch has been closed. You may use Q/C for the voltage drop across
the capacitor.

A transformer has a winding that has the equivalent circuit shown in the diagram. The winding
is connected to the mains voltage, which has a frequency of 50 Hz and an rms voltage of 230 V.
(a) What is the impedance of the transformer winding? Express your answer with magnitude
and phase and correct units.
[5 marks]
(b) What current will flow through the winding? Express your answer as both a phasor and
also as a function of time. Hint: You should assume the mains voltage has zero phase.

(c) What are the power factor, the real power and the reactive power in the circuit?
[4 marks]
(d) Why do we use rms quanitities when performing power calculations for ac circuits?
[2 marks]
(e) We could modify the winding circuit to be resonant by adding a capacitor in series with the
resistor and inductor. What capacitor value would we need to use if we wanted to have the
resonant frequency be at the mains frequency?

(f) Explain qualitatively what we would need to do if we wanted to make a sharper resonance.
