sinusoidal and the other rectangular in wave-form.

5. In a series R-L-C circuit, L is varied to produce resonance keeping the supply frequency and C fixed. The
circuit contains R = 100 Ω, the capacitive reactance Xc = 200 Ω, f= 50 Hz and the supply is 1000∠0ᴼ V.
Find the voltage drop across L at resonance and also when the drop across L is a maximum.

6. A series R-L-C circuit is composed of components having values as R=0.2 ohm, L=100mH and C=50μF.
The circuit is energized by a source of 24V, 50 Hz.

(b) Find out the resonance frequency of this circuit. Also find out the voltages across R, L and C and Q-
factor for this condition.
