Question: In an RLC series circuit, if the resistance is 10Ω, the inductance is 0.1H, and the capacitance is 100μF, what is the resonant frequency? (2020)

Options:

  1. 50 Hz
  2. 100 Hz
  3. 159 Hz
  4. 200 Hz

Correct Answer: 159 Hz

Exam Year: 2020

Solution:

Using f = 1/(2π√(LC)), we find f = 1/(2π√(0.1 * 100e-6)) ≈ 159 Hz.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an RLC series circuit, if the resistance is 10Ω, the inductance is 0.1H, and the capacitance is 100μF, what is the resonant frequency? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the values given in the problem. We have resistance (R) = 10Ω, inductance (L) = 0.1H, and capacitance (C) = 100μF.
  • Step 2: Convert the capacitance from microfarads to farads. 100μF = 100 * 10^-6 F = 0.0001 F.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for resonant frequency: f = 1 / (2π√(LC)).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values of L and C into the formula: f = 1 / (2π√(0.1 * 0.0001)).
  • Step 5: Calculate the product of L and C: 0.1 * 0.0001 = 0.00001.
  • Step 6: Find the square root of 0.00001: √(0.00001) = 0.003162.
  • Step 7: Multiply by 2π: 2π * 0.003162 ≈ 0.01987.
  • Step 8: Take the reciprocal to find the frequency: f ≈ 1 / 0.01987 ≈ 50.3 Hz.
  • Step 9: Round the answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.
  • Resonant Frequency in RLC Circuits – The resonant frequency is the frequency at which the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal, resulting in maximum current flow in the circuit.
