NA Module 4
1. The circuit is said to be in resonance if the current is with the applied voltage.
a) in phase
b) out of phase
c) 45⁰ out of phase
d) 90⁰ out of
phase Answer: a
Explanation: The circuit is said to be in resonance if the current is in phase with the applied voltage and not if the current is out of
phase with the applied voltage. The study of resonance is very useful particularly in the area of communications.
4. At resonant frequency, the voltage across capacitor is the voltage across inductor.
a) greater than
b) less than
c) greater than or equal to
d) equal to
Answer: d
Explanation: At resonant frequency, the voltage across capacitor is equal to the voltage across inductor. If one of the parameters of the
series RLC circuit is varied in such a way that the current in the circuit is in phase with the applied voltage, then the circuit is said to be
in resonance.
5. In series RLC circuit, the voltage across capacitor and inductor are with each other.
a) in phase
b) 180⁰ out of phase
c) 90⁰ out of phase
d) 45⁰ out of phase
Answer: b
Explanation: In series RLC circuit, the voltage across capacitor and inductor are 180 ⁰ out of phase with each other. The frequency
at which the resonance occurs is called resonant frequency.
8. For the circuit shown in figure determine the capacitive reactance at resonance.
a) 15
b) 20
c) 25
d) 30
Answer: c
Explanation: We know at resonance, capacitive reactance is equal to the inductive reactance that is X L = XC. Given inductive reactance
XL = 25. On substituting in the equation we get XC = 25Ω.
9. The value of the impedance at resonance in the circuit shown in the question 9 is?
a) 25
b) 50
c) 75
d) 100
Answer: b
Explanation: We know that at resonance the value of impedance at resonance. So Z = R. Given R = 50Ω. On substituting in the
equation we get Z = 50Ω.
10. Determine the resonant frequency (kHz) for the circuit shown below.
a) 2.25
b) 22.5
c) 225
d) 2250
Answer: a
Explanation: The expression of resonant frequency is resonant frequency fr = 1/(2π√LC). Given L = 0.5mH and C = 10uF. On
substituting in the equation we get resonant frequency fr = 1/(2π√(10×10-6)×0.5×10-3)) = 2.25kHz.
11. The expression of power (P1) at lower half power frequency is?
a)
(I2maxR)/8
b)
(I2maxR)/4
c)
(I2maxR)/2
d)
I2maxR
Answer: c
Explanation: The upper and lower cut-off frequencies are sometimes called the half-power frequencies,. At these frequencies the power
from the source is half of the power delivered at the resonant frequency. The expression of power (P 1) at lower half power frequency is
P1 = (I2maxR)/2.
12. At upper half power frequency, the expression for power (P2) is?
a)
I2maxR
b)
(I2maxR)/2
c)
(I2maxR)/4
d)
(I2maxR)/
8 Answer: b
Explanation: At upper half power frequency, the expression for power (P2) is P2 = (I2maxR)/2. The response curve is also called the
selectivity curve of the circuit.
13. Determine the resonant frequency for the specifications: R = 10Ω, L = 0.1H, C =
10µF. a) 157
b) 158
c) 159
d) 160
Answer: c
Explanation: The frequency at which the resonance occurs is called resonant frequency. The expression of the resonant frequency is
given by fr = 1/(2π√LC). On substituting the given values we get resonant frequency = 1/(2π√(0.1×10×10-6))=159.2 Hz.
19. If a series circuit contains resistor and capacitor, the expression for quality factor is?
a) C
b) ωRC
c) ωC
d) 1/ωRC
Answer: d
Explanation: The expression of quality factor is Q = 1/ωRC. The ratio of voltage across either L or C to the voltage applied the
resonance can be defined as magnification.

a) 1
b) 5
c) 10
d) 15
Answer: c
Explanation: The resonant frequency is given by fr = 1/(2π√LC)=1/(2π√(0.1×10×10-6))=159.2 Hz. The relation between quality factor,
resonant frequency and bandwidth is Q = fr/BW = 2πfrL/R = (6.28×159.2×0.1)/10=10.
