Electric Oscillations

Problem 4.108

How much (in per cent) does the free oscillation frequency \(\omega\) of a circuit with quality factor \(Q=5.0\) differ from the natural oscillation frequency \(\omega_{0}\) of that circuit?

Reveal Answer
ω0ωω0=111+1/(2Q)218Q2=0.5%\frac{\omega_{0}-\omega}{\omega_{0}}=1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+1 /(2 Q)^{2}}} \approx \frac{1}{8 Q^{2}}=0.5 \%
