The correct Answer is:
To find the frequency at which maximum power is dissipated in a series L-C-R circuit, we need to calculate the resonant frequency. The resonant frequency \( f \) for a series L-C-R circuit is given by the formula: \[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}} \] Where: - \( L \) is the inductance in henries (H), - \( C \) is the capacitance in farads (F). ### Step 1: Convert the given values to standard units - Inductance \( L = 5 \, \text{mH} = 5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{H} \) - Capacitance \( C = 2 \, \mu\text{F} = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{F} \) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the resonant frequency formula Now, substitute the values of \( L \) and \( C \) into the formula: \[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{(5 \times 10^{-3})(2 \times 10^{-6})}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the product \( LC \) First, calculate \( LC \): \[ LC = (5 \times 10^{-3})(2 \times 10^{-6}) = 10 \times 10^{-9} = 10^{-8} \, \text{H}\cdot\text{F} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the square root of \( LC \) Now, find the square root: \[ \sqrt{LC} = \sqrt{10^{-8}} = 10^{-4} \] ### Step 5: Substitute back into the frequency formula Now substitute \( \sqrt{LC} \) back into the frequency formula: \[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi (10^{-4})} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the expression This simplifies to: \[ f = \frac{10^4}{2\pi} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the final value Now we can calculate the numerical value: \[ f = \frac{10^4}{2 \times 3.14} \approx \frac{10^4}{6.28} \approx 1591.55 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Step 8: Express in terms of \( \frac{5}{\pi} \times 10^3 \) To express it in the required format: \[ f \approx \frac{5 \times 10^3}{\pi} \, \text{Hz} \] Thus, the frequency at which maximum power is dissipated is: \[ f = \frac{5}{\pi} \times 10^3 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Conclusion The correct option is \( \text{D} \, \frac{5}{\pi} \times 10^3 \, \text{Hz} \). ---
