Solution
An inductor (L), a capacitor (C), and a resistor (R) is connected in parallel with each other in a circuit where,
L = 5.0 H
C = 80 μF = 80 × 10−6 F
R = 40 Ω
Potential of the voltage source, V = 230 V
Impedance (Z) of the given parallel LCR circuit is given as:
`1/"Z" = sqrt(1/"R"^2 + (1/(ω"L") - ω"C")^2)`
Where,
ω = Angular frequency
At resonance, `1/(ω"L") - ω"C"` = 0
∴ ω = `1/sqrt("LC")`
= `1/(sqrt(5 xx 80 xx 10^-6))`
= 50 rad/s
Hence, the magnitude of Z is the maximum at 50 rad/s. As a result, the total current is minimum.
Rms current flowing through inductor L is given as:
IL = `"V"/(ω"L")`
= `230/(50 xx 5)`
= 0.92 A
Rms current flowing through capacitor C is given as:
IC = `"V"/(1/(ω"C")) = ω"CV"`
= 50 × 80 × 10−6 × 230
= 0.92 A
Rms current flowing through resistor R is given as:
IR = `"V"/"R"`
= `230/40`
= 5.75 A
