Case study :
Read the following paragraph and answers the questions:
Electrical Resonance
Electrical resonance is said to take place in a series L-C-R circuit when the
circuit allows maximum current for a given frequency of the source of
alternating supply for which capacitive reactance becomes equal to the
inductive reactance. Impedance of this L-C-R circuit is minimum and hence
the current is maximum.

Resonant circuits are used to respond selectively to signals of a given

frequency while discriminating against signals of different frequencies. If
the response of the circuit is more narrowly peaked around the chosen
frequency we say that the circuit has higher “selectivity or sharpness” .
This sharpness is measure with the help of Q-Factor.

B) Another capacitor should be added in parallel to the first.
C) The iron core of the inductor should be removed.

circuit in resonance is
 A) 25/π
B) 100/6π
C) 100/π
D) 10/3π
54. In non-resonant circuit, what will be the nature of the circuit for frequencies
higher than the resonant frequency?
A) Resistive

A) Decreases
