Question : 21
Total: 26
Obtain the resonant frequency and Q-factor of a series LCR circuit with L = 3.0 H, C = 27 μF, and R = 7.4 Ω. It is desired to improve the sharpness of the resonance of the circuit by reducing its ‘full width at half maximum’ by a factor of 2. Suggest a suitable way.
Solution:  
vr =
1
2πLC
=
1
2×3.14×3×27×106
=

6.28×9
= 17.7
resonant frequency, ωr = 2πvr = 2 × 3.14 × 17.7 = 111 rad sec1
