Calculate the value of R_1 in the circuit given in Fig. 3.73 such that the circuit will resonate.
We know that at resonance the impedance of the circuit will be resistive only. We will calculate the value of impedance in a complex form and equate its imaginary part to zero to determine the value of R_1 .
Here, Z= R_1 + j6 and Z_2 = 10 – j4
During resonance, the imaginary part of Z will be zero.
Therfore,
or, 60 R_1-4 R_1^2+600-40 R_1-20 R_1-48=0
or, 4 \mathrm{R}_1{ }^2=552
or, \mathrm{R}_1^2=138
or, \mathrm{R}_1=11.74 \Omega
