Resonance, Bandwidth & Q Factor

An inductor of 0.50.5 mH, a capacitor of 20 μ20\ \muF and resistance 20 Ω20\ \Omega are connected in series with a 220220 V ac source. If the current is in phase with the emf, the amplitude of current of the circuit is [x]1/2[x]^{1/2} A. The value of xx is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. In phase means resonance, so Z=R=20 ΩZ = R = 20\ \Omega.
  2. Peak emf E0=2202 VE_0 = 220\sqrt{2}\text{ V} (220 V is the rms value).
  3. I0=E0R=220220=112=242 AI_0 = \dfrac{E_0}{R} = \dfrac{220\sqrt{2}}{20} = 11\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{242}\text{ A}
  4. So the answer is (c) 242.
