Question

For a series resonant circuit, what happens to the Q–factor when the capacitance of the circuit is increased three times and the frequency is slashed by four times?

A.

It remains unchanged

B.

it decreases by half

C.

It doubles

D.

It increases to 1.33 times

Correct option is D

Q=1ω0CRQ1=12πf0CR..................(i)According to the questionQ=12πf04×3CR=46πf0CR..................(ii)From equation (i) and (ii):Q2Q1=46πf0CR×2πf0CR1Q2=1.33Q1Q = \frac{1}{\omega_0 C R} \\[6pt]Q_1 = \frac{1}{2 \pi f_0 C R} \hspace{20pt} \text{..................(i)} \\[6pt]\text{According to the question} \\[6pt]Q = \frac{1}{2 \pi \frac{f_0}{4} \times 3 C R} = \frac{4}{6 \pi f_0 C R} \hspace{20pt} \text{..................(ii)} \\[6pt]\text{From equation (i) and (ii):} \\[6pt]\frac{Q_2}{Q_1} = \frac{4}{6 \pi f_0 C R} \times \frac{2 \pi f_0 C R}{1} \\[6pt]Q_2 = 1.33 Q_1​​
