A series $L C R$ circuit is connected across a source of alternating emf of changing frequency and resonates at frequency $f_0$. Keeping capacitance constant, if the inductance $(L)$ is increased by $\sqrt{3}$ times and resistance is increased $(R)$ by 1.4 times, the resonant frequency now is
  1. $3^{1 / 4} f_0$
  2. $\sqrt{3} f_0$
  3. $(\sqrt{3}-1)^{1 / 4} f_0$
  4. $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{1 / 4} f_0$

Solution

We knows in LCR circuits and $ \begin{aligned} & f=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}} \\ & f \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{L}} \end{aligned} $ Here, in given condition $\begin{aligned} & \frac{f_1}{f_2}=\sqrt{\frac{L_1}{L_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{L}{\sqrt{3} L}} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad f_1=\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{1 / 4} f_2 \\ & \end{aligned} $
