Question

Calculate the resonant frequency of an R-L-C series circuit with R = 300 Ω, C = 470 µF, L = 35 H.
Options
A 1.27 Hz
Correct Answer
B 3.51 Hz
C 12.36 Hz
D 20.50 Hz
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

f = 1/(2π√(LC)) = 1/(2π√(35 × 470×10⁻⁶)) = 1/(2π√(0.01645)) = 1/(2π×0.1283) = 1/0.8056 ≈ 1.24 Hz → closest 1.27 Hz.

Hint

f = 1/(2π√(LC)).
