(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?

Given,

Inductance, 𝐿 = 0.12 H

Capacitance, 𝐶 = 480 nF

rms voltage, 𝑉 = 230 V

Resistance, 𝑅 = 23 Ω

(a) At resonance the impedance of the circuit will be minimum, resulting in
the maximum current in the circuit. This frequency is given by-

ωr=1LC=10.12×480×109=4167rads1fr=ωr2π=663s1

The maximum current is given by,

Im=2×VR=2×23023=102A

(b) The maximum average power is given by,

P avg ,max=12Im2R=12×(102)2×23=2300W

(c) The two angular frequencies for which the power transferred to the circuit
is half the power at the resonant frequency,

ω=ωr±Δω Where, Δω=R2L=232×0.12=95.8rads1Δf=Δω2π=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,

I=Im2=1022=10

(d) Q-factor of the circuit is given by

Q=ωrLR=4167×0.1223=21.7
