Question:

An LCR series circuit with L=100 mH, C= 100 μF, R=10 Ω is connected to an AC source of emf 220 V. The resonant frequency of the circuit will be nearly

Options:

$50\, Hz$

$50\, rad\, s^{-1}$

$60\, Hz$

$50\, π\, Hz$

Correct Answer:

$50\, Hz$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $50\, Hz$

Given:

$L=100\,\text{mH}=0.1\,\text{H}$

$C=100\,\mu\text{F}=1\times10^{-4}\,\text{F}$

Resonant\ frequency:

$f_0=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$

Compute $\sqrt{LC}$:

$LC=0.1\times10^{-4}=10^{-5}$

$\sqrt{LC}=\sqrt{10^{-5}}=3.1623\times10^{-3}$

Therefore:

$f_0=\frac{1}{2\pi\times3.1623\times10^{-3}}\approx50.3\,\text{Hz}$

Answer: $f_0\approx50\,\text{Hz}$
