Q.
A series LCR circuit containing 5.0 H inductor, 80 μF capacitor and 40 Ω resistor is connected to 230 V variable frequency ac source. The angular frequencies of the source at which power transferred to the circuit is half the power at the resonant angular frequency are likely to be:
A) 50 rad/s and 25 rad/s
B) 46 rad/s and 54 rad/s
C) 42 rad/s and 58 rad/s
D) 25 rad/s and 75 rad/s
Explanation
[Solution] $\omega_0 = 1/\sqrt{LC} = 50$ rad/s; half-power points are $\omega_0 \pm R/2L = 50 \pm 4$, i.e. 46 and 54 rad/s. Answer (2).
