Resonance, Bandwidth & Q Factor

A capacitor, an inductor and an electric bulb are connected in series to an a.c. supply of variable frequency. As the frequency of the supply is increased gradually, then the electric bulb is found to

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Brightness depends on Irms=VZI_{rms} = \frac{V}{Z} (bulb acts as RR).
  2. ZZ first falls, is minimum (Z=RZ = R) at resonance, then rises as frequency increases.
  3. So current, and brightness, increases, peaks at resonance, then decreases.
  4. So the answer is (c).
