Resonance, Bandwidth & Q Factor

Which graph shows the correct variation of r.m.s. current 'ii' with frequency 'ff' of a.c. in case of series resonant circuit?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. i=VR2+(XL−XC)2i = \dfrac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}}: at low ff, XCX_C is large; at high ff, XLX_L is large, so ii is small at both ends.
  2. At f0f_0, Z=RZ = R is minimum, so ii rises smoothly to a single peak and falls again.
  3. Graph (P) shows this smooth bell-shaped curve.
  4. So the answer is (b) (P).
