Question
What is the value of inductance L for which the current is a maximum in a series LCR circuit with C =10μ F and ω = 1000 s-1
-
100 mH
-
1 mH
-
cannot bec calculated unless R is known
-
10 mH
Solution
A.
100 mH
In resonance condition, maximum current flows in the circuit.
Current in LCR series circuit.
where V is rms value of current, R is resistance XL is inductive reactancea and Xc is capacititve reactance.
For current to be maximum denominator should be minimum can be done, if
XL = Xc
This happens in resonance state of the circuit ie,
