In series LCR circuit, 'R' represents resistance of electric bulb. If the frequency of a.c. supply is doubled, the value of inductance ' L ' and capacitance ' C ' should be
- A both doubled.
- B made four times.
- C made eight times.
- D both halved simultaneously.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) both halved simultaneously.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In an LCR circuit
\(\begin{aligned}
I=\frac{E}{Z} & =\frac{E}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_L-X_C\right)^2}} \\
& =\frac{E}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(2 \pi f L-\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}\right)^2}}
\end{aligned}\)
To keep I constant, if f is doubled both L and C should be halved.
\(\begin{aligned}
I=\frac{E}{Z} & =\frac{E}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_L-X_C\right)^2}} \\
& =\frac{E}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(2 \pi f L-\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}\right)^2}}
\end{aligned}\)
To keep I constant, if f is doubled both L and C should be halved.
