A series LCR circuit has L=0.01 H,R=10 Ω and C=1 μF and it is connected to ac voltage of amplitude Vm 50 V. At frequency 60% lower than resonant frequency, the amplitude of current will be approximately
  1. 466 mA
  2. 312 mA
  3. 238 mA
  4. 196 mA

Solution

For an LCR circuit. the resonant angular frequency is given by, ω0=1LC=104 rad s-1

The given frequency is 60% lower than resonant frequency. Therefore,

ω'=0.4×104=4000 rad s-1

Reactance of the capacitor at given frequency,

XC=ω'C-1=250 Ω.

Reactance of the inductor at given frequency,

XL=ω'L=40 Ω

Now the amplitude of the current in the given circuit will be,

i0=V0R2+XC'-XL'2=50102+250-402=238 mA
