A \(10 \Omega\) resistance, \(5 \mathrm{mH}\) coil and \(10 \mu \mathrm{F}\) capacitor are joined in series. When alternating current source of suitable frequency is joined to this combination, the circuit resonates. If the resistance is halved, the resonant frequency is

  1. A quadrupled.
  2. B halved.
  3. C doubled.
  4. D remains unchanged.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) remains unchanged.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Concept based.
At resonance, in LCR circuit inductive and capacitive reactance are equal:
\(\begin{aligned}
& X_L=X_C \\
& \Rightarrow 2 \pi \mathrm{fL}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \mathrm{fC}} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^2=\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi^2 \mathrm{LC}}\right)
\end{aligned}\)
The resonant frequency is independent of the resistance.
