NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

In an RLC series circuit, if the resistance R is doubled while keeping inductance L and capacitance C constant, how does the quality factor Q change?

A

Q is halved

B

Q doubles

C

Q remains the same

D

Q quadruples

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The quality factor Q is given by Q = ω₀L/R, where ω₀ is the resonant frequency. Doubling R while keeping L constant results in Q being halved.
