Which of the following combinations should be selected for better tuning of an LCR circuit used for communication?

1. R = 20 Ω , L = 15 H ,  C = 35 μF

2. R = 25 Ω , L = 2 . 5 H , C = 45 μF

3. R = 15 Ω , L = 3 . 5 H , C = 30 μF

4. R = 25 Ω , L = 1 . 5 H , C = 45 μF

(c) Hint: The quality factor should be high for better tuning.
Step 1: Quality factor (Q) of an L - C - R circuit is given by,
 Q=1RLC
where R is resistance, L is the inductance and C is the capacitance of the circuit.
Step 2: To make Q high, L should be high and C should be low.
These conditions are best satisfied by the values given in option (c).
