Question 1:
Compute the resonant frequency fo for the series RLC using equation (2) and compare it to the measured value.
Answer 1:
Considering the values used for the experiments: C = 1.0 µF, L = 20mH we can compute the resonant frequency as follows:
Question 2:
Compute the magnitude and phase for the series RLC circuit when the reactive component equals the resistive component.
Answer 2:
The impedance of the series RLC circuit is defined as:
Reactive component equals the resistive component implies:
The magnitude results:
The phase is computed as follows:
