Question Details

Consider a circuit consisting of a capacitor of capacitance C and a coil with N turns per unit length, cross sectional area S and length d, where d2 >> S. There is another coil of length d2, cross sectional area S2 and 2N turns per unit length completely inside the larger coil, as shown in the figure. The ends of this smaller coil are connected with each other by an insulated conducting wire. The self-inductance of the larger coil is L. Neglecting edge effects and all the Ohmic resistances, the resonant frequency of the circuit is:

Correct Answer :

Option D

23LC

Solution :

The correct option is 23LC.


Step 1: Understand the system parameters
Let the larger coil (coil 1) have:
- Length: l1=d
- Cross-sectional area: A1=S
- Turns per unit length: n1=N
- Total turns: N1=Nd
- Self-inductance: L=L1=μ0n12A1l1=μ0N2Sd


For the smaller inner coil (coil 2):
- Length: l2=d2
- Cross-sectional area: A2=S2
- Turns per unit length: n2=2N
- Total turns: N2=n2l2=(2N)d2=Nd


Step 2: Calculate the self-inductance of coil 2 (L2)
The self-inductance of the smaller inner coil is:

L2=μ0n22A2l2=μ0(2N)2S2d2=μ0N2Sd=L


Step 3: Calculate the mutual inductance (M) between the two coils
Since coil 2 is completely inside coil 1 of length d, the magnetic field created inside by current i1 in coil 1 is uniform: B=μ0Ni1.
The total magnetic flux passing through all turns of coil 2 is:

Φ21=N2BA2=(Nd)(μ0Ni1)S2=12μ0N2Sdi1=L2i1

Thus, the mutual inductance is:

M=L2


Step 4: Find the effective inductance of the combination
Let i1 be the alternating current flowing through the outer circuit containing the capacitor C, and i2 be the induced current in the short-circuited inner coil.
For the inner short-circuited coil (neglecting Ohmic resistance):

-L2di2dt-Mdi1dt=0

Integrating gives:

i2=-ML2i1=-L/2Li1=-12i1


The total back EMF induced across the outer coil (coil 1) is given by:

V=L1di1dt+Mdi2dt=Leffdi1dt

Substituting i2=-12i1 and M=L2:

Leff=L+M-12=L-L2·12=L-L4=34L


Step 5: Calculate the resonant frequency
The resonant frequency ω0 of an LC circuit is given by:

ω0=1LeffC

Substituting Leff=3L4:

ω0=13L4C=43LC=23LC... wait, simplifying 43LC=23LC=43LC.

Thus, the resonant frequency of the circuit is 23LC as given in the option.
