Given,
Inductance, πΏ = 0.12 H
Capacitance, πΆ = 480 nF
rms voltage, π = 230 V
Resistance, π
= 23 Ξ©
(a) At resonance the impedance of the circuit will be minimum, resulting in
the maximum current in the circuit. This frequency is given by-
Οr=1βLC=1β0.12Γ480Γ10β9=4167radsβ1fr=Οr2Ο=663sβ1
The maximum current is given by,
Im=β2ΓVR=β2Γ23023=10β2A
(b) The maximum average power is given by,
P avg ,max=12I2mR=12Γ(10β2)2Γ23=2300W
(c) The two angular frequencies for which the power transferred to the circuit
is half the power at the resonant frequency,
Ο=ΟrΒ±ΞΟ Where, ΞΟ=R2L=232Γ0.12=95.8radsβ1Ξf=ΞΟ2Ο=15.2Hz
Hence, at frequencies 648 Hz and 678 Hz the power absorbed is half the
peak power.
The current amplitude at these frequencies can be given as,
Iβ²=Imβ2=10β2β2=10
(d) Q-factor of the circuit is given by
Q=ΟrLR=4167Γ0.1223=21.7
