A series \(LCR\) circuit is connected to an ac source of \(220\,V , 50 Hz\). The circuit contain a resistance \(R=100 \Omega\) and an inductor of inductive reactance \(X_L=79.6 \Omega\). The capacitance of the capacitor needed to maximize the average rate at which energy is supplied will be \(..........\mu F\).

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To maximize the average rate at which energy supplied i.e. power will be maximum.

So in \(LCR\) circuit power will be maximum at the condition of resonance and in resonance condition

\(X_L =X_C\)

\(79.6 =\frac{1}{\omega C}\)

\(\therefore C =\frac{1}{2 \pi \times 50 \times 79.6}\)

\(\therefore C =40 \mu F\)
