Resonance
It is the condition that exists in any physical system when a fixed
amplitude sinusoidal forcing function produces a response of
maximum amplitude
Series Resonance - Resonance in series circuits
Bandwidth =?
w1 and w2 are called the half-power frequencies, the cutoff frequencies, or the band frequencies or 3dB points
The power response of a series resonant circuit has a bell-shaped curve called the selectivity curve
If the bandwidth of a circuit is very narrow, the circuit is said to have a high selectivity
if the bandwidth of a circuit is large, the circuit is said to have a low selectivity.
The frequency response of the circuit (current magnitude), relates to the “sharpness”
of the resonance in a series resonance circuit.
The sharpness of the peak is measured quantitatively and is called the Quality factor,
Q of the circuit.
The quality factor relates the maximum or peak energy stored in the circuit (the
reactance) to the energy dissipated (the resistance) during each cycle of oscillation
meaning that it is a ratio of resonant frequency to bandwidth and the higher the circuit
Q, the smaller the bandwidth, Q = ƒo /BW.
As the bandwidth is taken between the two -3dB points, the selectivity of the circuit is
a measure of its ability to reject any frequencies either side of these points. A more
selective circuit will have a narrower bandwidth whereas a less selective circuit will
have a wider bandwidth. The selectivity of a series resonance circuit can be controlled
by adjusting the value of the resistance only, keeping all the other components the
same, since Q = (XL or XC)/R.

Example. Find the quantities in the circuit given in Fig. below
A series circuit consists of a resistance of 4Ω, an inductance of 500mH and a variable
capacitance connected across a 100V, 50Hz supply. Calculate the capacitance required
to produce a series resonance condition, and the voltages generated across both the
inductor and the capacitor at the point of resonance.
ans. C=20.3 micro Farads; VL=VC= 3.926kV
A coil, having a resistance of 15 Ω and an inductance of 0.75 H, is connected in series with
a capacitor (case1). The circuit draws maximum current, when a voltage of 200 V at 50 Hz
is applied. A second capacitor is then connected in parallel to the circuit (case 2). What
should be its value, such that the combination acts like a non-inductive resistance, with the
same voltage (200 V) at 100 Hz? Calculate also the current drawn by the two circuits.
