    What is the value of inductance L for which the current is a maximum in a series LCR circuit with C = 10 µF and \[\omega \] = 1000 s-1 ?                

    A)  100 mH

    B)  1 mH

    C)  Cannot be calculated unless it is known

    D)  10 mH

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea In resonance condition, maximum current/lows in the circuit. Current in LCR series circuit,\[i=\frac{V}{\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{({{X}_{L}}-{{X}_{C}})}^{2}}}}\]where V is rms value of current, R is resistance, \[{{X}_{L}}\] is inductive reactance and \[{{X}_{C}}\] is capacitive reactance. For current to be maximum, denominator should be minimum which can be done, if                 \[{{X}_{L}}={{X}_{C}}\] This happens in resonance state of the circuit ie,                 \[\omega L=\frac{1}{\omega C}\] or            \[L=\frac{1}{{{\omega }^{2}}C}\]                 ??..(i) Given, \[\omega =1000{{s}^{-1}},C=10\mu F\]                 \[10\times {{10}^{-6}}F\] Hence, \[L=\frac{1}{{{(1000)}^{2}}\times 10\times {{10}^{-6}}}\]                 \[=0.1H\]                 \[=100mH\]
