4. R-L-C Circuits and Resonance

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

After carefully studying this chapter, you should be able to do the following:

➢State the condition of resonance in an R-L-C series circuit.

➢Explain the effect of variation of frequency of supply voltage on the current, power factor, and voltage drops in an R-L-C series circuit.

➢Explain how R-L-C series circuit at resonance can be used as filter element.

➢Explain with the help of an example the application of R-L-C series resonant circuit.

➢Explain the meaning of half-power frequencies.

➢Define quality factor of a series resonant circuit.

➢Draw and explain selectivity curve and bandwidth of a series resonant circuit.

➢Establish relationship between bandwidth and quality factor.

➢Explain how ...
