For the series LCR circuit shown in the figure, what are the resonance angular frequency and the amplitude of the current at resonance?

  1. \(2500\ \text{rad s}^{-1}\) and \(2.5\ \text{A}\)
  2. \(2500\ \text{rad s}^{-1}\) and \(5\ \text{A}\)
  3. \(2500\ \text{rad s}^{-1}\) and \(2.5\ \text{A}\)
  4. \(25\ \text{rad s}^{-1}\) and \(2.5\ \text{A}\)

Correct answer: \(2500\ \text{rad s}^{-1}\) and \(5\ \text{A}\)

Solution

In a series LCR circuit, resonance occurs when \(X_L=X_C\), giving \(\omega_0=1/\sqrt{LC}\). At this frequency the impedance becomes minimum and equals \(R\), so the current amplitude is \(I_0=V/R\). Using the values from the figure gives \(\omega_0=2500\ \text{rad s}^{-1}\) and current amplitude \(5\) A.
