Question
A series LCR circuit is connected to an ac source. Using the phasor diagram, derive the expression for the impedance of the circuit. Plot a graph to show the variation of current with frequency of the source, explaining the nature of its variation.

Answer



Resultant potential across LCR

$\text{V}^{2} = \text{V}^{2}_{\text{R}} + (\text{V}_{L} - \text{V}_{c} ) ^{2}$

$\text{V}_{R} = \text{iR},\text{V}_{L} = \text{i}\text{X}_{L},\text{V}_\text{c} = \text{i X}_{c}$

On solving

$\text{Z} = \sqrt{\text{R}^{2} + (\text{X}_{L} - \text{X}_{C})^{2}}$


With increase in ω, current first increases (up to ωo ) and then decreases.

The magnifying power of a simple microscope is given by $1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}},$ where D is the least distance for clear vision. For farsighted persons, D is greater than the usual. Does it mean that the magnifying power of a simple microscope is greater for a farsighted person as compared to a normal person? Does it mean that a farsighted person can see an insect more clearly under a microscope than a normal person?
