Official Solution
Correct Option: (1)
The problem involves finding the self-inductance of an LCR series circuit given that the angular frequencies at which the current amplitude becomes half of its maximum value are 212 rad/s and 232 rad/s. The resistance is 5 Ω.
In an LCR circuit, the amplitude of current becomes times its maximum value at resonant frequency due to the concept of bandwidth. This is related to the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the resonance curve. The FWHM is given by the difference between the angular frequencies at half maximum:
