Damped Resonance Frequency OF series LCR circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the damped resonance frequency of a series LCR circuit, highlighting the formula for current I as I = (E/Z)sin(wt+\phi), where Z is the impedance. Resonance occurs when the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance (X_L = X_C), leading to the undamped resonant frequency ω = 1/√(LC). The conversation also addresses the derivation of the damped resonance frequency, which involves solving harmonic motion equations with a damping term. It emphasizes that the damped resonant frequency reflects the sinusoidal component of oscillations in an underdamped system. The discussion concludes by suggesting that the principles for LCR circuits can be adapted from mass-spring-damper systems.

the solution for current I, for series LCR circuit is
I = (E/Z)sin(wt+\phi)
Where Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_{L}-X_{C})^{2}}
So for Resonance (i.e. maximum Current Amplitude) of LCR Circuit the necessary condition seems to be
X_{L}=X_{C}
Which gives \omega=1/\sqrt{LC}

But some text-books and wikipaedia have given that the damped resonace frequency is

How is this relation Derived ?

Not sure about your solution. What driving voltage are you assuming?

Anyway the undamped resonant frequency is the frequency the undriven system would oscillate with when there is no damping (R=0). When the system is underdamped and undriven then its oscillations consist of a sinusoidal component multiplied by an exponentially decaying envelope. The frequency of the sinusoidal terms in this expression is called the damped resonant frequency. It is found just by solving the harmonic motion equations with a damping term and then identifying the sinusoidal component.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping" for how to do this for a mass-spring-damper oscillator. You should be able to get the result for an LCR circuit just by replacing the terms used there with the specific coefficients of the damped harmonic oscillator differential equation that arise in LCR circuits (e.g. L corresponds to m, R to c, and C corresponds to 1/k).

The first frequency is the frequency of the undamped oscillator. It is also the frequency of the resonance for a driven damped oscillator.

The second one is the frequency of a "free" (not driven) damped oscillator.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
