Question

A given LCR series circuit satisfies the condition for resonance with a given AC source. If the angular frequency of the AC source is increased by 100% then in order to establish resonance, without changing the value of inductance, the capacitance must be

Moderate
Solution

wL =  \frac{1}{{\omega c}} (for resonance)

{\omega ^2} = \frac{1}{{LC}}

for case (ii)

{\left( {2\omega } \right)^2} = \frac{1}{{L{C_1}}}

(ii) divide (i) \Rightarrow 4

=   \frac{C}{{{C_1}}} \Rightarrow {C_1} = \frac{C}{4}

The capacitance is to be reduced by 75%.
