A series LCR circuit with inductance 10 H, capacitance 10 \mu F, and resistance 50 \Omega is connected to an AC source of voltage V=200sin(100t)V = 200 \sin(100t) V. If the resonant frequency of the LCR circuit is ν0\nu_0 and the frequency of the AC source is ν\nu, then:

A

ν=100\nu = 100 Hz; ν0=100π\nu_0 = \frac{100}{\pi} Hz

B

ν0=ν=50\nu_0 = \nu = 50 Hz

C

ν0=ν=50π\nu_0 = \nu = \frac{50}{\pi} Hz

D

ν0=50π\nu_0 = \frac{50}{\pi} Hz, ν=50\nu = 50 Hz

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the sources, the resonant frequency (ν0\nu_0) of a series LCR circuit is given by the formula ν0=12πLC\nu_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}} . Given L=10L = 10 H and C=10C = 10 \mu F (10×10610 \times 10^{-6} F), the calculation is: ν0=12π10×10×106=12π104=12π×102=1002π=50π\nu_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{10 \times 10 \times 10^{-6}}} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{10^{-4}}} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 10^{-2}} = \frac{100}{2\pi} = \frac{50}{\pi} Hz. For the AC source frequency (ν\nu), we use the general voltage equation V=Vmsin(ωt)V = V_m \sin(\omega t). Comparing this with V=200sin(100t)V = 200 \sin(100t), we find the angular frequency ω=100\omega = 100 rad/s. Since ω=2πν\omega = 2\pi\nu, the source frequency is ν=1002π=50π\nu = \frac{100}{2\pi} = \frac{50}{\pi} Hz. Therefore, ν0=ν=50π\nu_0 = \nu = \frac{50}{\pi} Hz.
