A series LCR circuit with L = 0.12 H, C = 480 nF, R = 23 Ω is connected to a 230 V variable frequency supply.
(a) What is the source frequency for which current amplitude is maximum. Obtain this maximum value.
(b) What is the source frequency for which average power absorbed by the circuit is maximum. Obtain the value of this maximum power.
(c) For which frequencies of the source is the power transferred to the circuit half the power at resonant frequency? What is the current amplitude at these frequencies?
(d) What is the Q-factor of the given circuit?
Solution:  
Soln. (a) At resonant frequency, the current amplitude is maximum.
f = 12πLC\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}} = 12π0.12×480×109\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{0.12 \times 480 \times 10^{-9}}} = 663 Hz
IvI_v = EvR\frac{E_v}{R} , I0I_0 = Iv2I_v \sqrt{2} = Ev2R\frac{E_v \sqrt{2}}{R} = 230223\frac{230\sqrt{2}}{23} = 14.14 A
(b) Maximum power loss at resonant frequency, P = EvIvE_v I_v cos ϕ
P = EvEvR\frac{E_v E_v}{R} cos 0° = Ev2R\frac{E_v^2}{R} = (230)223\frac{(230)^2}{23} = 2300 W
(c) Let at an angular frequency, the source power is half the power at resonant frequency.
P = EvIvE_v I_v cos ϕ
12[Ev2R]\frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{E_v^2}{R} \right] = EvEvZRZ\frac{E_v E_v}{Z} \frac{R}{Z}
Z2Z^2 = 2R2,R22R^2, R^2 + (XLXC)2(X_L - X_C)^2 = 2R22R^2
XLXCX_L - X_C = R
ωL\omega_L - 1ωC\frac{1}{\omega C} = R or ω21LC\omega^2 - \frac{1}{LC} = RL\frac{R}{L} ω
where resonant angular frequency, ωr\omega_r = 1LC\frac{1}{LC} = 10.12×480×109\frac{1}{0.12 \times 480 \times 10^{-9}}
so , ω2ωr2\omega^2 - \omega_r^2 = ± RL\frac{R}{L} ω
two quadratic equations can be formed
ω2Rl\omega^2 - \frac{R}{l} ω - ωr2\omega_r^2 = 0 and ω2+RL\omega^2 + \frac{R}{L} ω - ωr2\omega_r^2 = 0
On solving, we get, ω1\omega_1 = R2L+[ωr2+R24L2]1/2\frac{R}{2L} + \left[ \omega_r^2 + \frac{R^2}{4L^2} \right]^{1/2} = ωr+Δω\omega_r + \Delta \omega and
ω2\omega_2 = - R2L+[ω2+R24L2]1/2\frac{R}{2L} + \left[ \omega^2 + \frac{R^2}{4L^2} \right]^{1/2} = ωr\omega_r - Δω
Now, ω1ω2\omega_1 - \omega_2 = R/L
[ωr\omega_r + Δω] – [ωr\omega_r – Δω] = R/L or Δω = R/L
Δω = R2L\frac{R}{2L} bandwidth of angular frequency
So, band width of frequency
Δf = Δω2π\frac{\Delta \omega}{2\pi} = R4πL\frac{R}{4\pi L} = 234×3.14×0.12\frac{23}{4 \times 3.14 \times 0.12} = 15.26 Hz
Hence the two frequencies for half power
fZf_Z = f2f_2 – Δf and f1f_1 = frf_r + Δf
fZf_Z = 663 – 15.26 = 647.74 Hz and f1f_1 = 663 + 15.26 = 678.26 Hz
At these frequencies the current amplitude is I = I02\frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = 10 A
(d) Q factor, Q = 1RLC\frac{1}{R} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} ⇒ Q = 1230.12480×109\frac{1}{23} \sqrt{\frac{0.12}{480 \times 10^{-9}}} = 21.7
