Alternating current about resonance width

In summary, the conversation discusses the substitution of formulas in the equation Z= \sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2} for part b, and the possibility of deriving the result from the problem. It also touches on the amplitude of current in relation to the resonance value. The speaker suggests expanding the expression for Z and ignoring higher order terms of \Delta\omega. The question about the amplitude of current remains unclear.

Since the question quite long and contains many formulas,
so i take a photo instead.

my question is that for part b
since [itex] Z= \sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2} [/itex]

can i subst [itex] X_L = (W_0+\triangle{\omega})L [/itex]

and [itex] X_C = \frac{1}{(w_0+\triangle{\omega})L} [/itex]

into the [itex] Z= \sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2} [/itex]

if it does, can u show me some of steps ?
I can derive the result from the problem in part b

By the way, what do the amplitude of current is half the resonance value?
is it [itex] I=\frac{\omega}{2} [/itex] ?

I think you meant [itex] X_C = \frac{1}{(w_0+\triangle{\omega})C} [/itex]

Yes. Work out the expression for Z by expanding:

[tex]Z = \sqrt{R^2+\left((W_0+\Delta{\omega})L -\frac{1}{(w_0+\Delta{\omega})C} \right)^2}[/tex]

and ignoring the higher order terms of [itex]\Delta\omega[/itex]
By the way, what do the amplitude of current is half the resonance value?
is it [itex] I=\frac{\omega}{2} [/itex] ?
I am not sure I understand your question here. The amplitude of the current is V/Z. Z is not a linear function of [itex]\omega[/itex]

1. What is alternating current (AC)?

Alternating current is a type of electrical current that periodically reverses direction. This means that the flow of electricity alternates between positive and negative directions, as opposed to direct current (DC) which flows in only one direction.

2. How does AC differ from DC?

AC and DC differ in terms of the direction of the flow of electricity. AC changes direction periodically, while DC flows in only one direction. AC is also typically used for long-distance power transmission, while DC is commonly used for smaller electronic devices.

3. What is resonance width?

Resonance width refers to the range of frequencies that a system can efficiently absorb energy at. In electrical systems, it is the range of frequencies that can cause resonance, which is when the system vibrates with increased amplitude.

4. How does resonance width relate to AC?

In AC circuits, resonance width is an important factor to consider as it determines the efficiency and stability of the system. If the frequency of the AC current matches the natural resonance frequency of the circuit, it can lead to resonance and potentially cause damage to the system.

5. What are some real-world applications of resonance width in AC circuits?

Resonance width is an important consideration in many AC applications such as in radio and television broadcasting, where it is used to efficiently transmit signals over long distances. It is also used in medical imaging devices such as MRI machines and in the design of electric filters and amplifiers.
