Series Resonance Circuit



RESONANCE


DEFINITION:
                        �A condition exists when an oscillating circuit responds with maximum amplitude of an external source of angular frequency �?� called resonance.�


RESONATING CIRCUITS:

DEFINITION:
                        �The circuits that contain both inductors and capacitors along with a resistor so arranged that the circuit is capable of resonance are called resonating circuits.�


                            
SERIES RESONATING CIRCUIT:
                                                        Consider a resister, inductor and capacitor which are connected in series with A.C. source whose frequency can be varied. When current flows through inductor, the inductive reactance becomes:
 XL = ?L
and when current flows through capacitor, the capacitive reactance becomes:
XC = 1/ (?C)

  1. At High Frequency:
    Inductive Reactance  XL  is greater than capacitive reactance XC due to which circuit behaves as R-L Series Circuit in which voltage V leads to the current I by 90� or p/2 (As, f ? XL and f ? 1/XC. So, when f increases  XL  > XC  ).

  2. At Low Frequency:
    Capacitive Reactance XC is greater than inductive reactance  XL due to which circuit behaves as R-C Series Circuit in which voltage V lags to the current I by 90� or p/2 (As, f ? XL and f ? 1/XC . So, when f decreases  XL< XC ).

  3. At Intermediate Frequency
    In between these frequencies, there will be a certain value of frequency at which XL becomes equal to XC and this frequency is called resonance Frequency.  

Characteristics:
  • At resonance,  XL = XC, so they are equal and opposite to each other and cancel each other�s effect and circuit behaves as resistive circuit.      
                                 
  • By changing frequency if  XL= XC,This circuit becomes the resonant circuit.
1/(?rc)=?rL
?r 2=1/LC
?r=1/v(LC)
2pfr=1/v(LC)
fr=1/v(2p(LC))
�fr� is known as �resonant frequency�.

  • Impedance of circuit becomes minimum and is equal to R (resistive circuit).

  • Power loss at resonance is maximum.
P=IV cos?
?=0
Hence, power factor cos0� =1

  • The variation of current with frequency is giver by the graph given below:

    At resonance frequency fr, if the amplitude of source voltage Vo remains constant, the current becomes maximum and is given as:
                                                                    Ir= Vo/R.





  • V = VC + VL + VR 
There are 3 cases :

  1. VC > VL (At high frequency)
  2. VC= VL (At resonance frequency)
  3. VC < VL (At low frequency)

  1. At Vc>VL:
                        
By applying Pythagoras Theorem,
V=[VR 2 + (VC - VL ) 2]^1/2
(At resonance frequency, VC = VL )
V=[(VR) 2 + 0]^1/2
 V= VR

ii. At Vc<VL:
                       

By applying Pythagoras Theorem,
V = [VR 2 + (VL  - VC) 2] ^1/2
(At resonance frequency, VC = VL )
V=[(VR) 2 + 0]^1/2
V= VR

Therefore, at resonance, the voltage drop across inductance VL and the voltage drop across capacitance VC may be much larger than the source voltage VR .

Inverse of a Function

Inverse of a Function In this Post I will discuss the method for finding the inverse of a given function from the 4 options as given in the Entrance tests of Engineering Universities. The very first step before finding the inverse is to make a check whether the function is One-to-One or not.  By One-to-One function we mean that function for example f(x) should not have the same value at two different values of x. In other words for each element of the Domain there should be a distinct element in the range. Check for One-to-One: A function which passes the horizontal line test is a One-to-One function. This means if a horizontal line is drawn it should not cross the function curve at more than one point. Another way to check if a function is One-to-One or not is shown below: If , f(a) = f(b) , implies that a=b , the given function is One-to-One. Consider the following examples: f(x) = 5x + 10 f(a) = 5a + 10 f(b) = 5b + 10 Taking f(a) = f(b) gives, 5a...

NUMS

National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) Constituent Colleges: The existing medical colleges of the armed forces would come under the umbrella of this university i.e. Army Medical College (AMC) Rawalpindi Quetta Institute of Medical Sciences CMH Lahore Medical College  will be under NUMS and these will follow one standard course format. Why NUMS? One of the reasons to establish NUMS is to increase the intake of the army cadets.  NUMS Entry Test: Entry Test for above mentioned colleges will be conducted once a year. The test will be conducted in October - November. Those students who wish to apply on civilian seats or as paying cadets will have to appear in this test. Pattern of the Test: Biology 20 MCQs Chemistry 20 MCQs Physics 20 MCQs English 20 MCQs Intelligence 20 MCQs Total MCQs = 100. Time allowed to solve the test will be 2 hours. The Good thing is there will be no negative marking in the test. The type of the questions will be the same as they used to be in Nust ...
