In series LCR circuit, 'R' represents resistance of electric bulb. If the frequency of a.c. supply is doubled, the value of inductance ' L ' and capacitance ' C ' should be
  1. both doubled.
  2. made four times.
  3. made eight times.
  4. both halved simultaneously.

Solution

In an LCR circuit $\begin{aligned} I=\frac{E}{Z} & =\frac{E}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_L-X_C\right)^2}} \\ & =\frac{E}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(2 \pi f L-\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}\right)^2}} \end{aligned}$
To keep I constant, if f is doubled both L and C should be halved.
