    Obtain the resonant frequency and Q-factor of a series LCR circuit with L = 3.0 H, C = 27 μF, and R = 7.4 ``\Omega``. It is desired to improve the sharpness of the resonance of the circuit by reducing its ‘full width at half maximum’ by a factor of 2. Suggest a suitable way.
    Ans : Inductance, L = 3.0 H

    Capacitance, C = 27 μF = 27 × 10-6 F

    Resistance, R = 7.4 ``\Omega``

    At resonance, angular frequency of the source for the given LCR series circuit is given as:



    Q-factor of the series:



    To improve the sharpness of the resonance by reducing its ‘full width at half maximum’ by a factor of 2 without changing, we need to reduce R to half i.e.,

    Resistance =
