LRC Circuits

The next three questions pertain to the situation described below. The series LRC circuit is driven by a voltage from the antenna W antenna recieving a signal at 915 MHz with peak voltage of 0.0085 Volts. The remaining circuit elements have the following values: R-3.8 2, L 2 x 10 H and the capacitance is adjustable. 915 MHz radio waves 13) What value of capacitance will provide the largest peak current in the circuit? a. C 1.74 x -10 F 10 b. c 1.51 x 10 F c. C 2 x 10-9 F 14) Assuming the above capacitance, what is the peak value of the voltage across the inductor? a. V 0.0257 v max b. V 0.0085 V L max c. V L max 0.00601 v 15) If you are traveling toward the radio station at 30 m/s the radio waves will be shifted to a slightly a. lower frequency. b. lower wavelength

Explanation / Answer

the peak current will be maximum in case of resonance:

resonance angular frequency = (LC)-0.5

so the capacitance value is = 1/((2*pi*915*106)2*2*10-9) = 1.5*10-11 F

peak current = V/R =0.0085/3.8 A

voltage across the inductor = wL*I = 0.0257 V
