07: Alternating Current

  • #9
    A series LCR circuit with R = 20 ``\Omega``, L = 1.5 H and C = 35 μF is connected to a variable-frequency 200 V ac supply. When the frequency of the supply equals the natural frequency of the circuit, what is the average power transferred to the circuit in one complete cycle?
    Ans : At resonance, the frequency of the supply power equals the natural frequency of the given LCR circuit.

    Resistance, R = 20 ``\Omega``

    Inductance, L = 1.5 H

    Capacitance, C = 35 μF = 30 × 10-6 F

    AC supply voltage to the LCR circuit, V = 200 V

    Impedance of the circuit is given by the relation,



    At resonance,



    Current in the circuit can be calculated as:



    Hence, the average power transferred to the circuit in one complete cycle= VI

    = 200 × 10 = 2000 W.
