Resonance, Bandwidth & Q Factor

The plot given below is of the average power delivered to an LRC circuit versus frequency. The quality factor of the circuit is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. From the graph, peak power is at f0=5 kHzf_0 = 5\text{ kHz}.
  2. Half-power points (about 0.5 μ0.5\ \muW) are near 3.75 kHz and 6.25 kHz, so bandwidth Δf≈2.5 kHz\Delta f \approx 2.5\text{ kHz}.
  3. Q=f0Δf=52.5=2Q = \frac{f_0}{\Delta f} = \frac{5}{2.5} = 2
  4. So the answer is (b) 2.0.
