Question

For series RLC circuit given below in figure, choose the correct answer based on Kirchoff's voltage law from following:

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2023 Electronic Science Question Paper (13-Dec-2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

\(Ri+L\frac{di}{dt}+\frac{1}{C}\int i\,dt = V(t)\)

To solve the problem using Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) for a series RLC circuit, we need to consider the voltage drops across the resistor, inductor, and capacitor, as well as the input voltage source \( V(t) \).

  1. For the resistor \( R \), the voltage drop is given by Ohm's Law as \( Ri \), where \( i \) is the current flowing through the circuit.
  2. For the inductor \( L \), the voltage drop is given by \( L \frac{di}{dt} \), where \(\frac{di}{dt}\) is the rate of change of current.
  3. For the capacitor \( C \), the voltage drop is related to the charge \( q \) on the capacitor by \(\frac{q}{C} = \frac{1}{C}\int i \, dt\), since the current \( i \) is the rate of change of charge \( q \), i.e., \( i = \frac{dq}{dt} \).

According to KVL, the sum of the voltages around a closed loop must be equal to the applied voltage \( V(t) \). Therefore, the equation for the circuit becomes:

\(Ri + L \frac{di}{dt} + \frac{1}{C} \int i \, dt = V(t)\)

This corresponds to the second option given in the list.

Conclusion: The correct answer is \(Ri + L \frac{di}{dt} + \frac{1}{C} \int i \, dt = V(t)\), as it accurately represents the application of Kirchoff's Voltage Law to the series RLC circuit.
