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.

Figure shows a metallic rod PQ of length l, resting on the smooth horizontal rails AB positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Assume the magnetic field to be uniform. Given the resistance of the closed-loop containing the rod is R.
