MediumMCQ
In an $LCR$ circuit,the resonance frequency of the circuit increases to two times its initial value by changing the capacitance from $C$ to $C^{\prime}$ and the resistance from $100 \ \Omega$ to $400 \ \Omega$,while the inductance $L$ is kept constant. The ratio $C / C^{\prime}$ is:
A
$2$
B
$8$
C
$16$
D
$4$

Solution

(D) The resonance frequency $f$ of a series $LCR$ circuit is given by the formula: $f = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}$.
Initially,$f_1 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}$.
Finally,the resonance frequency becomes $f_2 = 2f_1$ by changing $C$ to $C^{\prime}$.
Thus,$f_2 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC^{\prime}}}$.
Substituting $f_2 = 2f_1$ into the equation:
$\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC^{\prime}}} = 2 \times \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}$.
Canceling common terms $2 \pi$ and $\sqrt{L}$ from both sides:
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{C^{\prime}}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{C}}$.
Squaring both sides:
$\frac{1}{C^{\prime}} = \frac{4}{C}$.
Therefore,the ratio $\frac{C}{C^{\prime}} = 4$.
Note: The change in resistance $R$ does not affect the resonance frequency of an $LCR$ circuit.

$A$ series $LCR$ circuit is connected across a source of alternating emf of changing frequency and resonates at frequency $f_0$. Keeping capacitance constant,if the inductance $(L)$ is increased by $\sqrt{3}$ times and resistance is increased $(R)$ by $1.4$ times,the resonant frequency now is
A
$3^{1/4} f_0$
B
$\sqrt{3} f_0$
C
$(\sqrt{3}-1)^{1/4} f_0$
D
$\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{1/4} f_0$

Solution

(D) The resonant frequency of a series $LCR$ circuit is given by the formula: $f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$.
From this formula,we can see that the resonant frequency $f$ is inversely proportional to the square root of the inductance $L$,provided the capacitance $C$ remains constant: $f \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{L}}$.
Let the initial resonant frequency be $f_0$ with inductance $L$. Thus,$f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$.
When the inductance is increased by $\sqrt{3}$ times,the new inductance $L' = \sqrt{3}L$. The resistance $R$ does not affect the resonant frequency.
The new resonant frequency $f'$ is given by: $f' = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{L'C}} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{(\sqrt{3}L)C}}$.
Dividing $f'$ by $f_0$: $\frac{f'}{f_0} = \frac{\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{\sqrt{3}LC}}}{\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\sqrt{3}}} = \left(\frac{1}{3^{1/2}}\right)^{1/2} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{1/4}$.
Therefore,the new resonant frequency is $f' = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{1/4} f_0$.

For an $R-L-C$ circuit,driven with voltage of amplitude $V_m$ and frequency $\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$,the current exhibits resonance. The quality factor $Q$ is
A
$\frac{\omega_0 R}{L}$
B
$\frac{R}{\omega_0 C}$
C
$\frac{CR}{\omega_0}$
D
$\frac{\omega_0 L}{R}$

Solution

(D) The quality factor $Q$ of an $R-L-C$ series circuit is defined as the ratio of the voltage drop across the inductor (or capacitor) to the voltage drop across the resistor at resonance.
$Q = \frac{V_L}{V_R} = \frac{I X_L}{I R} = \frac{\omega_0 L}{R}$.
At resonance,the resonant frequency is given by $\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$.
Substituting $\sqrt{LC} = \frac{1}{\omega_0}$,we can also write $Q = \frac{1}{R} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}$.
Comparing this with the given options,the expression for the quality factor is $\frac{\omega_0 L}{R}$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor in series with a resistance of $100 \Omega$, an inductor of $20 \text{ mH}$, and an $AC$ voltage source of variable frequency shows resonance at a frequency of $\frac{1250}{\pi} \text{ Hz}$. If this capacitor is charged by a $DC$ voltage source to a voltage of $25 \text{ V}$, what amount of charge will be stored in each plate of the capacitor?
A
$0.2 \mu\text{C}$
B
$2 \text{ mC}$
C
$0.2 \text{ mC}$
D
$0.2 \text{ C}$

Solution

(C) In a series $R-L-C$ circuit, the resonance frequency is given by $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$.
Given: $R = 100 \Omega$, $L = 20 \text{ mH} = 20 \times 10^{-3} \text{ H}$, $f_0 = \frac{1250}{\pi} \text{ Hz}$.
Substituting the values into the resonance formula:
$\frac{1250}{\pi} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{20 \times 10^{-3} \times C}}$
$1250 = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{0.02 \times C}}$
$2500 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{0.02 \times C}}$
Squaring both sides:
$6.25 \times 10^6 = \frac{1}{0.02 \times C}$
$C = \frac{1}{0.02 \times 6.25 \times 10^6} = \frac{1}{0.125 \times 10^6} = 8 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F} = 8 \mu\text{F}$.
When charged by a $DC$ source of $V = 25 \text{ V}$, the charge $Q$ stored is:
$Q = C \times V = 8 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F} \times 25 \text{ V} = 200 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C} = 0.2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ C} = 0.2 \text{ mC}$.

An alternating current is flowing through a series $L-C-R$ circuit. It is found that the current reaches a value of $1 \ mA$ at both $200 \ Hz$ and $800 \ Hz$ frequency. What is the resonance frequency of the circuit (in $Hz$)?
A
$600$
B
$300$
C
$500$
D
$400$

Solution

(D) In a series $L-C-R$ circuit, the current is the same at two different frequencies $f_1$ and $f_2$ if these frequencies are equidistant from the resonance frequency $f_0$ in a geometric sense.
The resonance frequency $f_0$ is given by the geometric mean of the two frequencies at which the current is equal:
$f_0 = \sqrt{f_1 \times f_2}$
Given:
$f_1 = 200 \ Hz$
$f_2 = 800 \ Hz$
Substituting the values:
$f_0 = \sqrt{200 \times 800}$
$f_0 = \sqrt{160000}$
$f_0 = 400 \ Hz$
Thus, the resonance frequency of the circuit is $400 \ Hz$.

When the frequency of the $AC$ voltage applied to a series $LCR$ circuit is gradually increased from a low value, the impedance of the circuit
A
monotonically increases
B
first increases and then decreases
C
first decreases and then increases
D
monotonically decreases

Solution

(C) The impedance $Z$ of a series $LCR$ circuit is given by the formula: $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} = \sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C})^2}$.
At very low frequencies $(\omega \to 0)$, the capacitive reactance $X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}$ is very large, making the impedance $Z$ very high.
As the frequency $\omega$ increases, the term $(\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C})^2$ decreases until it reaches zero at the resonance frequency $\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$. At this point, $Z = R$, which is the minimum value.
As the frequency increases further beyond $\omega_0$, the inductive reactance $X_L = \omega L$ becomes dominant, and the term $(\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C})^2$ increases again, causing the impedance $Z$ to increase.
Therefore, the impedance first decreases and then increases.

Using a variable-frequency a.c. voltage source, the maximum current measured in the given $LCR$ circuit is $50 \text{ mA}$ for $V = 5 \sin(100t)$. The values of $L$ and $R$ are shown in the figure. The capacitance of the capacitor $(C)$ used is . . . . . . $\mu\text{F}$.
Question diagram
A
$25$
B
$50$
C
$75$
D
$100$

Solution

(B) In an $LCR$ circuit, the current is maximum at resonance.
At resonance, the angular frequency $\omega$ is given by $\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$.
From the given voltage equation $V = 5 \sin(100t)$, we have $\omega = 100 \text{ rad/s}$.
Given $L = 2 \text{ H}$, we can substitute these values into the resonance formula:
$100 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \times C}}$
Squaring both sides:
$10000 = \frac{1}{2C}$
$C = \frac{1}{2 \times 10000} = \frac{1}{20000} \text{ F}$
$C = 0.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ F} = 50 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F} = 50 \mu\text{F}$.

MediumMCQ
In which of the following $AC$ circuit, we get the value of power factor $1$ at resonance condition?
A
$LCR$ series circuit
B
$CR$ series circuit
C
Only inductor $(L)$ circuit
D
$LR$ series circuit

Solution

(A) In an $LCR$ series circuit, resonance occurs when the inductive reactance $X_L$ equals the capacitive reactance $X_C$ $(X_L = X_C)$.
At this condition, the total impedance $Z$ is equal to the resistance $R$, meaning the circuit behaves purely resistively.
The power factor is given by $\cos \phi = \frac{R}{Z}$.
At resonance, $Z = R$, so $\cos \phi = \frac{R}{R} = 1$.

$A$ series $LCR$ circuit with $R = 20 \ \Omega$, $L = 1.6 \ \text{H}$ and $C = 40 \ \mu\text{F}$ is connected to a variable frequency a.c. source. The inductive reactance at resonant frequency is . . . . . . $\Omega$.
A
$10$
B
$20$
C
$80$
D
$200$

Solution

(D) At resonance, the inductive reactance $X_L$ is equal to the capacitive reactance $X_C$.
The resonant angular frequency is given by $\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$.
The inductive reactance at resonance is $X_L = \omega_0 L = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \times L = \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}$.
Given: $L = 1.6 \ \text{H}$ and $C = 40 \ \mu\text{F} = 40 \times 10^{-6} \ \text{F}$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$X_L = \sqrt{\frac{1.6}{40 \times 10^{-6}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^6}{40}} = \sqrt{0.04 \times 10^6} = \sqrt{40000} = 200 \ \Omega$.
Therefore, the inductive reactance at resonant frequency is $200 \ \Omega$.

An $AC$ circuit contains a resistance of $1 \text{ k}\Omega$, a capacitor of $0.1 \mu\text{F}$, and an inductor of $1 \text{ mH}$ connected in series. The resonance frequency of the circuit is approximately: (in $kHz$)
A
$15.9$
B
$20.7$
C
$10.1$
D
$13.5$

Solution

(A) The resonant frequency $f_r$ of an $LCR$ series circuit is given by the formula: $f_r = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}$.
Given values are $L = 1 \text{ mH} = 10^{-3} \text{ H}$ and $C = 0.1 \mu\text{F} = 0.1 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F} = 10^{-7} \text{ F}$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\sqrt{LC} = \sqrt{10^{-3} \times 10^{-7}} = \sqrt{10^{-10}} = 10^{-5}$.
Now, $f_r = \frac{1}{2 \pi \times 10^{-5}} = \frac{10^5}{2 \times 3.14159} \approx \frac{100000}{6.283} \approx 15915.5 \text{ Hz}$.
Converting to kHz, $f_r \approx 15.9 \text{ kHz}$.
Therefore, the correct option is $A$.

An $AC$ voltage $V = 220 \sin(2 \times 10^3 t) \text{ V}$ is applied to a series $LCR$ circuit. The current amplitude in this circuit is: (Given: $L = 10 \text{ mH}$, $C = 25 \mu\text{F}$, $R = 100 \Omega$) (in $\text{ A}$)
A
$2.2$
B
$5.5$
C
$11.0$
D
$22.0$

Solution

(A) The given voltage is $V = V_m \sin(\omega t)$, where $V_m = 220 \text{ V}$ and $\omega = 2 \times 10^3 \text{ rad/s}$.
First, calculate the inductive reactance $X_L = \omega L = (2 \times 10^3) \times (10 \times 10^{-3}) = 20 \Omega$.
Next, calculate the capacitive reactance $X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{(2 \times 10^3) \times (25 \times 10^{-6})} = \frac{1}{0.05} = 20 \Omega$.
Since $X_L = X_C$, the circuit is in resonance.
At resonance, the impedance $Z = R = 100 \Omega$.
The current amplitude $I_m = \frac{V_m}{Z} = \frac{220}{100} = 2.2 \text{ A}$.

$A$ resistor of $100 \text{ } \Omega$, an inductor of self-inductance $(4/\pi^2) \text{ H}$, and a capacitor of unknown capacity are connected in series to an a.c. source of $200 \text{ V}$ and $50 \text{ Hz}$. When the current and voltage are in phase, the value of the capacity is: (in $\text{ } \mu\text{F}$)
A
$40$
B
$50$
C
$20$
D
$25$

Solution

(D) In an $LCR$ series circuit, the current and voltage are in phase when the circuit is in resonance.
At resonance, the inductive reactance $(X_L)$ is equal to the capacitive reactance $(X_C)$.
$X_L = X_C$
$2\pi f L = \frac{1}{2\pi f C}$
Given: $R = 100 \text{ } \Omega$, $L = (4/\pi^2) \text{ H}$, $f = 50 \text{ Hz}$.
Substituting the values into the resonance condition:
$2 \pi (50) \times (4/\pi^2) = \frac{1}{2 \pi (50) \times C}$
$100 \pi \times (4/\pi^2) = \frac{1}{100 \pi C}$
$400/\pi = \frac{1}{100 \pi C}$
$C = \frac{1}{100 \pi \times (400/\pi)}$
$C = \frac{1}{40000} \text{ F}$
$C = 0.25 \times 10^{-4} \text{ F} = 25 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F} = 25 \text{ } \mu\text{F}$.

DifficultMCQ
In a series $LCR$ resonant circuit, $R = 800 \text{ } \Omega$, $C = 2 \text{ } \mu\text{F}$ and the voltage across the resistance is $200 \text{ V}$. The angular frequency is $\omega = 250 \text{ rad/s}$. At resonance, what is the voltage across the capacitance (in $\text{ V}$)?
A
$250$
B
$500$
C
$1000$
D
$750$

Solution

(B) At resonance, the current $I$ in the circuit is given by $I = V_R / R$. Given $V_R = 200 \text{ V}$ and $R = 800 \text{ } \Omega$, we have $I = 200 / 800 = 0.25 \text{ A}$.
At resonance, the capacitive reactance $X_C$ is given by $X_C = 1 / (\omega C)$.
Given $\omega = 250 \text{ rad/s}$ and $C = 2 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F}$, we have $X_C = 1 / (250 \times 2 \times 10^{-6}) = 1 / (500 \times 10^{-6}) = 10^6 / 500 = 2000 \text{ } \Omega$.
The voltage across the capacitor $V_C$ is given by $V_C = I \times X_C$.
Substituting the values, $V_C = 0.25 \times 2000 = 500 \text{ V}$.
264
MediumMCQ
In a series $LCR$ circuit, $C = 2 \text{ } \mu\text{F}$, $L = 1 \text{ mH}$, and $R = 10 \text{ } \Omega$. What is the ratio of energies stored in the capacitor and inductor when maximum current flows through the circuit (in $: 1$)?
A
$0.1$
B
$0.4$
C
$0.2$
D
$0.8$

Solution

(A) In a series $LCR$ circuit, maximum current flows at resonance, where the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance $(X_L = X_C)$.
At resonance, the potential difference across the inductor $(V_L)$ and the capacitor $(V_C)$ are equal in magnitude but opposite in phase, so $V_L = V_C = I_{max} X_L = I_{max} X_C$.
The energy stored in the capacitor is $U_C = \frac{1}{2} C V_C^2$ and the energy stored in the inductor is $U_L = \frac{1}{2} L I_{max}^2$.
Since $V_C = I_{max} X_C$, we have $U_C = \frac{1}{2} C (I_{max} X_C)^2 = \frac{1}{2} C I_{max}^2 (\frac{1}{\omega C})^2 = \frac{1}{2} I_{max}^2 (\frac{1}{\omega^2 C})$.
Using $\omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC}$, we get $U_C = \frac{1}{2} I_{max}^2 (LC) = \frac{1}{2} L I_{max}^2$.
Thus, $U_C = U_L$, which means the ratio $U_C : U_L = 1 : 1$. However, checking the provided options, there seems to be a discrepancy. Re-evaluating the question context: if the question implies a specific frequency or state, but standard resonance is assumed, the ratio is $1:1$. Given the options provided, if we calculate $X_L = \omega L$ and $X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}$, at resonance $\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10^{-3} \times 2 \times 10^{-6}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \times 10^{-9}}} \approx 22360 \text{ rad/s}$. The ratio of energies $U_C/U_L = (\frac{1}{2} C V_C^2) / (\frac{1}{2} L I^2) = (\frac{1}{2} C (I X_C)^2) / (\frac{1}{2} L I^2) = (C X_C^2) / L = C (\frac{1}{\omega C})^2 / L = \frac{1}{\omega^2 L C}$. Since $\omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC}$, the ratio is $1$. None of the options match $1:1$. Assuming a typo in the question's premise, if the ratio was intended to be calculated differently, based on standard physics, the answer is $1:1$.

An inductor of $0.5 \text{ mH}$, a capacitor of $20 \text{ } \mu\text{F}$ and resistance $20 \text{ } \Omega$ are connected in series with a $220 \text{ V}$ ac source. If the current is in phase with the emf, the amplitude of current of the circuit is $[x]^{1/2} \text{ A}$. The value of $x$ is
A
$61$
B
$121$
C
$242$
D
$442$

Solution

(C) In an $LCR$ series circuit, the current is in phase with the emf when the circuit is in resonance.
At resonance, the inductive reactance $X_L$ equals the capacitive reactance $X_C$, and the impedance $Z$ of the circuit is equal to the resistance $R$.
Given: $R = 20 \text{ } \Omega$, $V_{rms} = 220 \text{ V}$.
The peak voltage (amplitude of emf) is $V_0 = V_{rms} \sqrt{2} = 220 \sqrt{2} \text{ V}$.
At resonance, the impedance $Z = R = 20 \text{ } \Omega$.
The amplitude of the current $I_0$ is given by $I_0 = \frac{V_0}{Z} = \frac{220 \sqrt{2}}{20} = 11 \sqrt{2} \text{ A}$.
We can write $I_0 = \sqrt{11^2 \times 2} = \sqrt{121 \times 2} = \sqrt{242} \text{ A}$.
Comparing this with the given form $[x]^{1/2} \text{ A}$, we get $x = 242$.

In the circuit shown, the ratio of the quality factor $(Q)$ and the band width $(BW)$ is (Given: band width = $R/L$)
Question diagram
A
$\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \frac{L^2}{R^2}$
B
$\frac{1}{LC}$
C
$\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \frac{L}{R}$
D
$\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \frac{R}{L}$

Solution

(A) The quality factor $(Q)$ for a series $LCR$ circuit is given by $Q = \frac{\omega_0 L}{R}$, where $\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$ is the resonant angular frequency.
Substituting $\omega_0$, we get $Q = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \cdot \frac{L}{R}$.
The band width $(BW)$ is given as $\frac{R}{L}$.
We need to find the ratio of the quality factor to the band width:
Ratio $= \frac{Q}{BW} = \frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \cdot \frac{L}{R}}{\frac{R}{L}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \cdot \frac{L}{R} \cdot \frac{L}{R} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \cdot \frac{L^2}{R^2}$.
Thus, the correct option is $A$.

$A$ series resonant circuit consists of an inductor $L$ and capacitor $C$ which produces resonant frequency $f$. If $L$ is increased by $2L$ (making the new inductance $L' = L + 2L = 3L$) and $C$ is changed to $9C$, the new resonant frequency will be:
A
$f/3$
B
$f/2$
C
$f/(3\sqrt{3})$
D
$f/3\sqrt{2}$

Solution

(C) The resonant frequency $f$ of a series $LCR$ circuit is given by the formula: $f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$.
Given the initial frequency $f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$.
The new inductance is $L' = L + 2L = 3L$.
The new capacitance is $C' = 9C$.
The new resonant frequency $f'$ is given by: $f' = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{L'C'}} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{(3L)(9C)}} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{27LC}}$.
Simplifying the expression: $f' = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{27}\sqrt{LC}} = \frac{1}{2\pi(3\sqrt{3})\sqrt{LC}}$.
Since $f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$, we substitute this into the equation for $f'$:
$f' = \frac{f}{3\sqrt{3}}$.
Therefore, the new resonant frequency is $f/(3\sqrt{3})$.

In an $LCR$ series circuit, at resonance,
A
the impedance is maximum
B
the current is minimum
C
the current leads the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$
D
the current and voltage are in phase

Solution

(D) In an $LCR$ series circuit, the impedance $Z$ is given by $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}$.
At resonance, the inductive reactance $X_L$ is equal to the capacitive reactance $X_C$, i.e.,$X_L = X_C$.
Therefore, the impedance $Z$ becomes equal to the resistance $R$, which is the minimum possible value of impedance.
Since $Z$ is minimum, the current $I = \frac{V}{Z}$ is maximum.
At resonance, the phase angle $\phi$ is given by $\tan \phi = \frac{X_L - X_C}{R} = 0$, which means $\phi = 0$.
Thus, the current and voltage are in the same phase.

An inductor of inductance $2 \text{ } \mu\text{H}$ is connected in series with a resistance, a variable capacitor and an a.c. source of $10 \text{ kHz}$. The value of capacitance for which maximum current is drawn in the circuit is $\frac{1}{x} \text{ F}$, where the value of $x$ is (Take $\pi^2 = 10$).
A
$8000$
B

C

D

Solution

(A) परिपथ में अधिकतम धारा तब प्रवाहित होती है जब परिपथ अनुनाद (resonance) की स्थिति में होता है।
अनुनाद की स्थिति में, प्रेरणिक प्रतिघात $(X_L)$ धारितीय प्रतिघात $(X_C)$ के बराबर होता है।
$X_L = X_C \implies \omega L = \frac{1}{\omega C}$
यहाँ, $\omega = 2\pi f$ है।
अतः, $C = \frac{1}{\omega^2 L} = \frac{1}{(2\pi f)^2 L} = \frac{1}{4\pi^2 f^2 L}$
दिया गया है: $L = 2 \times 10^{-6} \text{ H}$, $f = 10 \text{ kHz} = 10^4 \text{ Hz}$, $\pi^2 = 10$
$C = \frac{1}{4 \times 10 \times (10^4)^2 \times 2 \times 10^{-6}}$
$C = \frac{1}{40 \times 10^8 \times 2 \times 10^{-6}} = \frac{1}{80 \times 10^2} = \frac{1}{8000}$
अतः, $x = 8000$।

In an $LCR$ series circuit at resonance:
A
the current is minimum.
B
the impedance is maximum.
C
the current leads the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$.
D
the current and voltage are in phase.

Solution

(D) In an $LCR$ series circuit, the impedance $Z$ is given by $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}$.
At resonance, the inductive reactance $X_L$ equals the capacitive reactance $X_C$, i.e.,$X_L = X_C$.
Therefore, the impedance $Z$ becomes $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + 0} = R$, which is the minimum possible value of impedance.
Since $Z$ is minimum, the current $I = \frac{V}{Z}$ is maximum.
Also, at resonance, the phase angle $\phi$ is given by $\tan \phi = \frac{X_L - X_C}{R} = 0$, which implies $\phi = 0$.
Since the phase angle is $0$, the current and voltage are in the same phase.

In an $LCR$ circuit, at a particular angular frequency $\omega_0$, the capacitive reactance and inductive reactance are the same. If the angular frequency is doubled to $2\omega_0$, what will be the ratio of the reactance of the capacitor to that of the inductor?
A
$1/4$
B
$1/2$
C
$1$
D
$4$

Solution

(A) At the resonant angular frequency $\omega_0$, the capacitive reactance $X_C$ and inductive reactance $X_L$ are equal, so $X_C = X_L$.
Given that $X_C = 1/(\omega_0 C)$ and $X_L = \omega_0 L$, at $\omega_0$ we have $1/(\omega_0 C) = \omega_0 L$.
When the angular frequency is doubled to $\omega' = 2\omega_0$, the new capacitive reactance is $X_C' = 1/(2\omega_0 C) = X_C / 2$.
The new inductive reactance is $X_L' = (2\omega_0) L = 2 X_L$.
Since $X_C = X_L$, the ratio of the new capacitive reactance to the new inductive reactance is $X_C' / X_L' = (X_C / 2) / (2 X_L) = 1/4$.

In an $LCR$ circuit at resonance, the $a.c.$ source current is
A
maximum in a series $LCR$ circuit only.
B
maximum in a parallel $LCR$ circuit only.
C
maximum in both series and parallel $LCR$ circuits.
D
minimum in both series and parallel $LCR$ circuits.

Solution

(A) In a series $LCR$ circuit, the impedance $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}$. At resonance, $X_L = X_C$, so $Z = R$ (minimum). Since $I = V/Z$, the current $I$ is maximum.
In a parallel $LCR$ circuit, the admittance $Y = \sqrt{(1/R)^2 + (1/X_C - 1/X_L)^2}$. At resonance, $1/X_C = 1/X_L$, so $Y = 1/R$ (minimum), which means impedance $Z = 1/Y = R$ is maximum. Since $I = V/Z$, the current $I$ is minimum.

Which graph shows the correct variation of r.m.s. current '$i$' with frequency '$f$' of a.c. in case of a series resonant circuit?
Question diagram
A
$(R)$
B
$(P)$
C
$(S)$
D
$(Q)$

Solution

(B) In a series $LCR$ circuit, the impedance $Z$ is given by $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}$, where $X_L = 2\pi fL$ and $X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi fC}$.
The r.m.s. current is given by $i = \frac{V}{Z} = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + (2\pi fL - \frac{1}{2\pi fC})^2}}$.
At resonance frequency $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$, the impedance $Z$ is minimum $(Z = R)$, and therefore the current $i$ is maximum.
As the frequency $f$ moves away from $f_0$ (either increasing or decreasing), the impedance $Z$ increases, causing the current $i$ to decrease.
This variation of current $i$ with frequency $f$ is represented by a bell-shaped curve, which corresponds to graph $(P)$.

In a series $LCR$ circuit, the voltage across $R$ is $100 \text{ V}$, $R = 1 \text{ k}\Omega$ and $C = 2 \mu\text{F}$. The angular frequency $\omega$ is $200 \text{ rad s}^{-1}$. At resonance, the voltage across '$L$' is (in $V$)
A
$150$
B
$200$
C
$250$
D
$300$

Solution

(C) In a series $LCR$ circuit, the current $I$ is given by $I = V_R / R$. Given $V_R = 100 \text{ V}$ and $R = 1000 \Omega$, we have $I = 100 / 1000 = 0.1 \text{ A}$.
At resonance, the inductive reactance $X_L$ is equal to the capacitive reactance $X_C$.
The capacitive reactance is $X_C = 1 / (\omega C) = 1 / (200 \times 2 \times 10^{-6}) = 1 / (400 \times 10^{-6}) = 10^6 / 400 = 2500 \Omega$.
Since the circuit is at resonance, $X_L = X_C = 2500 \Omega$.
The voltage across the inductor $L$ is $V_L = I \times X_L = 0.1 \text{ A} \times 2500 \Omega = 250 \text{ V}$.
