Define the term bandwidth in the context of a series RLC circuit.
Define the term bandwidth in the context of a series RLC circuit.
Bandwidth in a series RLC circuit refers to the range of frequencies over which the circuit can effectively filter or pass signals. It is often associated with the -3 dB points on the frequency response curve.
Explain the concept of Q factor in a series RLC circuit.
Explain the concept of Q factor in a series RLC circuit.
The Q factor in a series RLC circuit is a measure of the selectivity of the circuit, calculated as the ratio of the reactance to the resistance. It indicates how sharply the circuit can resonate at a specific frequency.
What does the Q factor represent in a series RLC circuit?
What does the Q factor represent in a series RLC circuit?
- The voltage across the resistor component
- The ratio of energy stored to energy dissipated per cycle (correct)
- The total energy stored in the circuit
- The phase shift between current and voltage
