AIIMS 2018 Physics LCR Circuits MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

In an LCR circuit inductance is L, resistance is R and quality factor is Q then find the capacitance of the circuit

A

L/(RQ)²

B

L/(2RQ)²

C

2L/(RQ)²

D

3L/(RQ)²

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In an LCR circuit, the quality factor QQ is defined as Q=ωLRQ = \frac{\omega L}{R}, where ω\omega is the angular frequency. Rearranging this equation gives ω=QRL\omega = \frac{QR}{L}. The capacitance CC can be expressed in terms of ω\omega as C=1ω2LC = \frac{1}{\omega^2 L}. Substituting ω\omega into this equation results in C=L(QR)2C = \frac{L}{(QR)^2}, confirming that option (A) is correct. Options (B) and (C) are incorrect because they introduce incorrect factors or coefficients that do not align with the derived relationship for capacitance in terms of LL, RR, and QQ.
