A series R–L–C circuit comprises a 5µF capacitor, a 4ohm resistor and a variable inductance L. The supply voltage is 10∠0◦ V at a frequency of 159.1 Hz. The inductance is adjusted until the p.d. across the 4 ohm resistanceis a maximum. Determine for this condition (a) the value of inductance, (b) the p.d. across each component and (c) the Q-factor of the circuit.
