11 RC AND RLC CIRCUITS IN TIME-DOMAIN
damping in the circuit. So does the dielectric losses in the capacitor. But, the effect of
capacitor losses is usually small compared to the effect of inductor losses. Hence, we
assume that, the limiting of bandwidth observed is essentially due to losses in the
inductor. We can obtain the effective resistance that has come across the inductor at
and around resonant frequency using the data provided.
Undamped natural frequency of the circuit
∴Centre frequency observed 1 MHz (because that is the expected value and
the experiment confirmed it).
Observed bandwidth 6 kHz.
∴The Q-factor that is effective in the ...
