I was experimenting with resonant frequency of a series RLC circuit:
5V AC source
10 ohms resistor
100microF capacitor
46mH inductor
Resonant frequency is calculated to be around 74.2Hz. So I set the AC source to resonant frequency 74.2Hz and measured the voltage across the 10 ohms resistor...

Why does the power dissipated increase and then decrease (see graph)? Is it something to do with emf?
Also can internal resistance change as the variable resistor increases/decreases or is it always constant?
- this isn't one of the questions they ask I'm just wondering
If your doing an experiment to test how the temperature affects a thermistor (increase temp measure v and I...) why do you need a variable resistor in your circuit? Or if you don't NEED one what beneficial use may it pose anyway?
Is it something to do with the current?
Thanks
