Question 7.6 :

Obtain the resonant frequency ωr of a series LCR circuit with L = 2.0H, C = 32 µF and R = 10 Ω. What is the Q-value of this circuit?


 

Given:

The inductance of the inductor is L = 2.0 H

The capacitance of the capacitor, C = 32 μF = 32 × 10 – 6 F

The resistance of the resistor is  R = 10 Ω.

We know that the resonant frequency can be calculated by the following relation,

 à ωr=1LC=12×32×106=18×103= 125 rad  sec 

Now, Q – value of the circuit  can be calculated as follows  :

 à Q=1Rlc=110232×106= 110×4×103=25

Thus, the Q – Value of the above question is 25.
