- Homework Statement
- Select the correct option.
- Relevant Equations
- Q= X/R
X=wL
P=I*I*R
My reasoning:
Initial Q factor Q1= X1/R
After doubling the frequency, reactance also doubles.
So, Q2= 2(X1)/R.
Hence, Q factor doubles (option a is out).
Now, since it is mentioned that the coil has high Q factor, I assumed X >> R and hence, total impedance is approximately equal to the reactance X.
So, as frequency doubles, impedance also doubles, and current is halved.
Therefore, P decreases by 4 times.
So, d) should be the correct option.
But the book gives a) as the correct one.
Is there a mistake in my solution or is the book wrong?
