Obtain the resonant frequency and Q-factor of a series LCR circuit with L = 3.0 H,C = 27 uF and R= 7.4 Omega. It is desired to improve the sharpness of the resonance of the circuit by reducing its 'full width at half maximum' by a factor of 2. Suggest a suitable way.

Solution :It is given that `L= 3.0 H, C = 27 muC = 27 xx 10^(-6) F, R= 7.4 OMEGA`
Resonant angular frequency of SERIES LCR circuit is
`omega_(r) =1/sqrt(LC) = 1/sqrt(3.0 xx 27 xx 10^(-6)) = 111 RAD s^(-1)`
and Q-FACTOR `=(omega_(r)L)/R = (111 xx 3.0)/(7.4) = 45`
To improve the sharpness by a factor of 2, Q must be doubled. It is obvious that keeping the resonant frequency the same, the value of R be halved from `R = 7.4 Omega` to `3.7 Omega`
