Question
A series LCR circuit is connected to an ac source. Using the phasor diagram, derive the expression for the impedance of the circuit. Plot a graph to show the variation of current with frequency of the source, explaining the nature of its variation.

Answer




Resultant potential across LCR
$\text{V}^{2} = \text{V}^{2}_{\text{R}} + (\text{V}_{L} - \text{V}_{c} ) ^{2}$
$\text{V}_{R} = \text{iR},\text{V}_{L} = \text{i}\text{X}_{L},\text{V}_\text{c} = \text{i X}_{c}$
On solving
$\text{Z} = \sqrt{\text{R}^{2} + (\text{X}_{L} - \text{X}_{C})^{2}}$

With increase in ω, current first increases (up to $ω_o$ ) and then decreases.
