What is resonance? Deduce the expression of frequency in a series RLC circuit and parallel RLC circuit at resonance.

In general , the resonance means a particular situation in a physical system where a sinusoidal force having a constant amplitude gives rise to an enhanced response of maximum amplitude varying with time.

Explain what are meant by phase and phase difference of sinusoidal waves..

Phase of an alternating quantity at any instant is the time that has elapsed since the instantaneous value of the quantity assumed zero value was going from negative to positive direction.

Draw a mathematical expression for RMS value of a sinusoidal voltage \(v=V_{m}\sin{{\omega t}}\).

Let us determine the RMS value of a sinusoidally varying current, i(t) flowing through a resistance R. At any instant of time the heat generated of power dissipated in the resistance is \(\left(i(t)\right)^2R\). The average heat produced or power absorbed during a full cycle of period T is given by

What is meant by hysteresis in a magnetic circuit? What is the significance of B-H curve?

The magnetization curve is useful to explain the magnetic properties of a ferromagnetic material like iron, cobalt and nikel. The magnetization curve is also called B-H curve or hysteresis loop which is a plot of internal magnetic flux density against external magnetic field.

Determine the value R in Fig. 15(a) such that 4 Ω resistor consumes maximum power.

Fig. 15(a)

\(R_1=\frac{3\times R}{3+R+3}=\frac{3R}{6+R}\) \(R_2=\frac{3\times3}{3+R+3}=\frac{9}{6+R}\)
