COMEDK · Physics · 23. Alternating Current

A series LCR circuit having \(\mathrm{R}=44 \Omega, \mathrm{~L}=2 \mathrm{H}\) and \(\mathrm{C}=25 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) is connected to a variable frequency of 220 V . What is the average power transferred to the circuit in one complete cycle if the frequency of supply equals the natural frequency of the circuit?

  1. A 1.1 kW
  2. B 4.2 kW
  3. C 1.2 kW
  4. D 2.1 kW
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.1 kW

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The natural frequency of a series LCR circuit is given by the resonant frequency \(f_0 = \dfrac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}\). At resonance, the inductive reactance \(X_L\) equals the capacitive reactance \(X_C\), which implies the net impedance of the circuit is equal to the resistance…
