The value of C which gives the critical damping in the given circuit is (R = 1 ohm, L = 2H)
- A. 2F
- B. 4F
- C. 8F
- D. 1F
Answer: C. 8F
Explanation: In a series RLC circuit, for critical damping, the damping factor is equal to the resonant frequency. R/(2L) = 1/$\sqrt{LC}$. Solving for C gives C = 4L/(R²). Substituting R = 1 and L = 2 gives C = 8F.
