Resonance, Bandwidth & Q Factor

In a series LCR resonant circuit, the quality factor is measured as 100. If the inductance is increased by two fold and resistance is decreased by two fold, then the quality factor after this change will be __________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 283

  1. Q=1RLCQ = \frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}, so Q∝LRQ \propto \frac{\sqrt{L}}{R}.
  2. L→2LL \to 2L, R→R2R \to \frac{R}{2}: Q′=Q×21/2=22 QQ' = Q\times\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1/2} = 2\sqrt{2}\,Q
  3. Q′=22×100≈283Q' = 2\sqrt{2}\times100 \approx 283
