A coil (which can be modelled as a series RL circuit) has been designed for a high Quality Factor (Q) performance. The voltage is rated at and a specified frequency. If the frequency of operation is increased 10 times and the coil is operated at the same rated voltage. The new value of Q factor and the active power P will be?(a) P is doubled and Q is halved(b) P is halved and Q is doubled(c) P remains constant and Q is doubled(d) P decreases 100 times and Q is increased 10 timesThe question was posed to me during an internship interview.This question is from Problems of Series Resonance Involving Quality Factor topic in division Resonance & Magnetically Coupled Circuit of Network Theory |
Answer» CORRECT option is (d) P DECREASES 100 times and Q is increased 10 times The best explanation: ω2 L = 10 ω1 LR will remain constant ∴ Q2 = \(\frac{10 ω_1L}{R}\) = 10 Q1 That is Q is increased 10 times. Now, I1 = \(\frac{V}{ω_1L} \) For a high Q coil, ωL >> R, I2 = \(\frac{V}{10 ω_1L} = \frac{I_1}{10}\) ∴ P2 = R \((\frac{I_1}{10})^2 = \frac{P_1}{100}\) Thus, P decreases 100 times and Q is increased 10 times. |
