Solution 14.26
Design a problem to help other students to better understand ωo, Q, and B at resonance in
series RLC circuits.
Although there are many ways to solve this problem, this is an example based on the
same kind of problem asked in the third edition.
Problem
A coil with resistance 3 Ω and inductance 100 mH is connected in series with a capacitor
of 50 pF, a resistor of 6 Ω, and a signal generator that gives 110V-rms at all frequencies.
Calculate ωo, Q, and B at resonance of the resultant series RLC circuit.
Solution
Consider the circuit as shown below. This is a series RLC resonant circuit.
R = 6 + 3 = 9 Ω
