One or more options correct
A series circuit has , and connected to a variable-frequency source of constant rms emf . Which of the following statements is/are correct?
- A. The average power dissipated at resonance is .
- B. The quality factor of the circuit is .
- C. At an angular frequency ( being the resonant value) the current leads the applied voltage.
- D. The half-power bandwidth is .
Show answer and solution
Answer: A
At resonance , so the impedance equals and the rms current is . The power is , so (A) is true. The resonant frequency is , so , not ; (B) is false. At we have doubled and halved, so and the circuit is inductive: the current lags the voltage, hence (C) is false. The half-power bandwidth of a series RLC circuit is , not , so (D) is false. Only (A) is correct.
