The current amplitude $I$ versus driving angular frequency $\omega_{d}$ for a driven $R L C$ circuit is given in Fig. $31-30,$ where the vertical axis scale is set by $I_{s}=4.00$ A. The inductance is $200 \mu \mathrm{H},$ and the emf amplitude is 8.0 $\mathrm{V} .$ What are $(\mathrm{a}) \mathrm{C}$ and ( b ) $R ?$

Key Concepts

Driven RLC Circuit Analysis

This topic involves analyzing circuits that are powered by an external sinusoidal source where the total response depends on resistance, inductance, and capacitance. The response, in terms of current amplitude, is determined by the impedance of the circuit, which combines both resistive and reactive (inductive and capacitive) effects that vary with the driving frequency.

Resonance in RLC Circuits

Resonance is a key concept in RLC circuits, occurring when the driving angular frequency equals the circuit’s natural frequency. At resonance, the inductive reactance (?L) and the capacitive reactance (1/(?C)) cancel each other out, leaving only the resistance to oppose the current. This condition gives the maximum current amplitude and is characterized by the formula ?? = 1/?(LC).

Impedance in RLC Circuits

The impedance in an RLC circuit is a combination of resistance and frequency?dependent reactances. It is expressed as Z = ?(R² + (?L ? 1/(?C))²), which shows that away from resonance the current amplitude decreases because of the additional contribution from the reactive components. Understanding this expression is critical for analyzing how the circuit responds over a range of driving frequencies.

Quality Factor and Bandwidth

The quality factor, Q, is a measure of the sharpness of the resonance and relates the energy stored to the energy dissipated per cycle. In RLC circuits Q is given by ??L/R, indicating that a higher Q value corresponds to a narrower bandwidth (?? = R/L) around the resonance frequency. This relationship is important for designing circuits with specified selectivity and response characteristics.
