Solution
Inductance, L = 0.12 H
Capacitance, C = 480 nF = 480 × 10−9 F
Resistance, R = 23 Ω
Supply voltage, V = 230 V
Peak voltage is given as:
V0 = `sqrt2 xx 230` = 325.22 V
(a) Current flowing in the circuit is given by the relation,
I0 = `"V"_0/(sqrt("R"^2 + (ω"L" - 1/(ω"C"))^2`
Where,
I0 = maximum at resonance
At resonance, we have
`ω_"R""L" - 1/(ω_"R""C")` = 0
Where,
ωR = Resonance angular frequency
∴ ωR = `1/sqrt("LC")`
= `1/sqrt(0.12 xx 480 xx 10^-9)`
= 4166.67 rad/s
∴ Resonant frequency, vR = `ω_"R"/(2π) = 4166.67/(2 xx 3.14)` = 663.48 Hz
And, maximum current `("I"_0)_"Max" = "V"_0/"R" = 325.22/23` = 14.14 A
(b) Maximum average power absorbed by the circuit is given as:
`("P"_"av")_"Max" = 1/2 ("I"_0)_"Max"^2 "R"`
= `1/2 xx (14.14)^2 xx 23`
= 2299.3 W
Hence, resonant frequency (vR) is 663.48 Hz.
(c) The power transferred to the circuit is half the power at resonant frequency.
Frequencies at which power transferred is half, = ωR ± Δω
= `2π ("v"_"R" ± Δ"v")`
Where,
Δω = `"R"/(2"L")`
= `23/(2 xx 0.12)`
= 95.83 rad/s
Hence, change in frequency, Δv = `1/(2π)Δω = 95.83/(2π)` = 15.26 Hz
∴ vR + Δv = 663.48 + 15.26 = 678.74 Hz
And, vR − Δv = 663.48 − 15.26 = 648.22 Hz
Hence, at 648.22 Hz and 678.74 Hz frequencies, the power transferred is half.
At these frequencies, current amplitude can be given as:
I' = `1/sqrt2 xx ("I"_0)_"Max"`
= `14.14/sqrt2`
= 10 A
(d) Q-factor of the given circuit can be obtained using the relation, Q = `(ω_"R""L")/"R"`
= `(4166.67 xx 0.12)/23`
= 21.74
Hence, the Q-factor of the given circuit is 21.74.
