Resonant RLC circuit and in inductance

AI Thread Summary
A resonant RLC circuit can amplify specific frequency bands, with a gain of 0.5 at 200Hz and 4000Hz. To solve for the required inductor value, both the capacitance and inductance must be known, but only resistance is provided. The relationship between the output/input voltage ratio and the unknowns can be established using the resonant frequency formula. Two equations can be formed from the gain conditions at the specified frequencies, leading to a solvable system. Understanding the equivalent impedance in AC circuits is crucial for finding the solution.

1. A resonant RLC circuit can be used as an amplifier for a certain band of frequencies around the resonant frequency. Consider a series RLC circuit as an audio band amplifier with an AC voltage source as the input, and the voltage across the 8.0Ω resistor as the output. The amplifier should have a gain (=output/input ) of 0.5 at 200Hz and 4000Hz . What is the required value of the inductor in Henry?ata

3. At resonance Xl=Xc and W0=1/(L*C).
Could you explain me how to do?
Thanks.

Hi W,
Is your problem statement complete ? C isn't mentioneed ?
The section "relevant equations" sure isn't. What have you got that you can use there ?
Make a darwing and post your attempt at solution. Good luck !
 
Yes C is not mentioneed and so is L. But i know that at resonance a RLC circuit has a frequency 1/(2*pi*sqrt(L*C)). So i know f and R.
 
No you don't, because you don't know L and C. You only know R.
What you do know: at the two given frequencies ouput/input voltage has to be 0.5. Write down an expression for this ratio in terms of R, L and C. With two frequencies you have two equations with two unknowns. The rest is math.
 
Ok but what is the relation between frequencies and output/input?
 
Look under: 2. equations. Oops, empty :rolleyes: ! So what do you have in your notes or in your textbook that can help you out here ? It's not that I am playing hide and seek, it's just that I'm not supposed to just hand over the answer, so you'll have to make an effort.

With DC and two resistances it would be easy, right ? Well, what do we have as an equivalent instead of resistance when we are dealing with alternating currents ?
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
