Question
8) An RLC circuit is used to tune a radio to an
FM radio station broadcasting at 34.9 MHz.
The resistance in the circuit is 6.5 ?, and capacitance is 0.8 pF.
What inductance should be present in the
circuit?
Answer in units of
Explanation / Answer
8
Resonant frequency
f=1/2pi*sqrt(LC)
=>L=1/4pi2f2C =1//4pi2*(34.9*106)2*(0.8*10-12)
L=26 uH
9.
Maximum current
I=V/2pifL
so
I1/I2=f2/f1
Given
f2=2f1
2.6/I2=2f1/f1
I2=1.3 A
10.
Inductive frequency
XL=V/I2 =149/1.3
XL=114.6 ohms
11
Inductive reactamce
Xl=2pifL=2pi*60*0.0186=7.012 ohms
Capacitive reactance
Xc=1/2pifC =1/2pi*60*0.387*10-6 =6854.23 ohms
Impedance
Z=sqrt[R2+(XL-Xc)2]=sqrt[50.72+(6854.23-7.012)2]
Z=6847.4 ohms
Rms current
Irms=Vrms/Z =116/6847.4
Irms=0.01694 A
12
Power factor
PF=cos(o)=R/Z =50.7/6847.4 =0.0074
13 aVERAGE POWER
Pav=VICos(o) =116*0.01694*0.0074
Pav=0.01454 watts
