Solution 14.41
Using Fig. 14.80, design a problem to help other students to better understand the quality
factor, the resonant frequency, and bandwidth of an RLC circuit.
Although there are many ways to solve this problem, this is an example based on the
same kind of problem asked in Example 14.9.
Problem
For the circuits in Fig. 14.80, find the resonant frequency
ω
0, the quality factor Q, and the
bandwidth B. Let C = 0.1 F, R1 = 10 Ω, R2 = 2 Ω, and L = 2 H.

For Prob. 14.41.
Solution
To find ωo, we need to find the input impedance or input admittance and set imaginary
component equal to zero. Finding the input admittance seems to be the easiest approach.
I do not know about you, but I sure would not want to solve this analytically. So how
about using MATLAB or excel to solve for the two values of ω?
