Problem

Answer the following questions about the sharpness of resonance in a radio-frequency series LCR circuit: a. (i) Define the quality factor QQ of a series LCR circuit. b. (ii) Explain, with the help of a suitable relation, how the bandwidth of the resonance curve depends on QQ. c. (iii) Give reasons why a high value of QQ improves selectivity in a radio receiver but may simultaneously reduce its sensitivity. d. (iv) Suggest one practical method by which a designer can control (increase or decrease) the value of QQ in a tuning circuit and state the effect this would have on the bandwidth.
