    A 100 V, AC source of frequency 500 Hz is connected to an LCR circuit with\[L=8.1\,mH,\]\[C=12.5\mu F,R=10\,\Omega \]all connected in series as shown in figure. What is the quality factor of circuit?

    A) \[2.02\]               

    B)  \[2.5434\]

    C)  \[20.54\]            

    D)         \[200.54\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea Quality factor defines sharpness of tuning at resonance. The \[Q-\] resonant circuit is denned as the ratio of the voltage developed across the inductance or capacitance at resonance to the impressed voltage, which is the voltage applied across R. ie, \[Q=\frac{\text{voltage}\,\text{across}\,\text{L}\,\text{or}\,\text{C}}{\text{applied}\,\text{voltage}\,\text{(=voltage}\,\text{actross}\,\text{R)}}\]                 \[=\frac{({{\omega }_{r}}L)i}{Ri}=\frac{{{\omega }_{r}}L}{R}\] or            \[=\frac{(1/{{\omega }_{r}}C)i}{Ri}=\frac{1}{RC{{\omega }_{r}}}\] Using,   \[{{\omega }_{r}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}},\]we get \[Q=\frac{L}{R}.\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}=\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}\] or            \[=\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}\] Here, \[L=8.1\,mH,C=12.5\,\mu F,R=10\,\Omega ,\] \[f=500\,Hz.\] \[\therefore \]  \[Q=\frac{{{\omega }_{r}}L}{R}=\frac{2\pi fL}{R}\]                 \[=\frac{2\times \pi \times 500\times 8.1\times {{10}^{-3}}}{10}=\frac{8.1\pi }{10}\]                 \[=2.5434\]
