Obs. f(Hz) VR VL VC

1 1000 0.55 0.64 1.94

2 1200 0.76 1.05 2.25
3 1400 0.98 1.56 2.39
4 1600 1.11 2.13 2.43
5 1900 1.09 2.24 1.99
6 2200 0.91 2.36 1.41
7 2500 0.71 2.33 0.97
As we know at resonance point VR = VC, from the table we can
say that at frequency 1600Hz VL is close to VC. So we can
consider this point as our fr, but theoretically putting the
values into the following formula we get,
1
fr = 2 π √ LC = 1591.55Hz
at this point, VL = 2.03, VC = 2.37 and VR = 1.06
practically, fr=1.71KHz

Frequency f

1. Maximum value of VR = 1.11 and corresponding fr = 1600

2. Values of VR at half power point are 0.76V and 0.91V
3.Values of cut off frequencies are f1 = 1200Hz and f2 = 2200Hz
4.BW= f2-f1 = 2200-1200 = 1000Hz
5.Q= 1.6
6.from equation 2, Q= 1600/(2200-1200)= 1.6
100 mH
from equation 4, Q=(1/620)X √ 0.1u
= 1.6
XL = 2 π × 1600 ×100 mH =1005.31

From equation 5, Q= 1005.31/620 =1.6

Therefore, equation 2,4,5 in verified.

Discussion :
Although theoretically we found fr is 1591.55Hz but practically we saw
value of fr is 1.71KHz. Wave shape for both the frequencies are given
below,
