Correct answer: 500
- Condition for maximum average power in a series LCR circuit
For a series LCR circuit, the average power is and it becomes maximum when the impedance is minimum.
In a series LCR circuit, This is minimum when So, for maximum average power, the circuit must be in resonance.
- Use the resonance condition
Given: At resonance,
Also, where
Given: So,
- Calculate capacitance
Using we get
Substitute values:
Now simplify:
Thus,
Convert into microfarads:
Since
- Final answer
The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
