Question
A series LCR circuit is connected across an a.c. source of variable angular frequency $' \omega'$. Plot a graph showing variation of current ‘i’ as a function of $' \omega'$ for two resistances R1 and R2 (R1 > R2).
Answer the following questions using this graph:
  1. In which case is the resonance sharper and why?
  2. In which case is the power dissipation more and why?
✓

Answer

  1. Sharper for R = R2

Sharpness of resonance $ = \frac{\omega_{\circ}\text{L}}{\text{R}}\propto\frac{1}{\text{R}}.$

  1. More power dissipation for $\text{R} = \text{R}_{2}$

At Resonance, power dissipation  $ = \frac{\text{V}^{2}}{\text{R}}\propto\frac{1}{\text{R}}$ (for same V).
