    Impedance of an RLC series circuit when in resonance

    I don't find my notes right now, I'll try to use my memory on this. According to my notes, the impedance of an RLC series circuit is given by \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2+\left ( \omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}\right )^2 }}. So when in resonance, Z=\frac{1}{R} instead of Z=R. Also if I recall well, for...

    Damping , resonance and natural frequency?

    When a forced oscillation is damped, it is true that the frequency at which resonance occurs decreases right? so does this mean that the natural frequency has decreased too or does it only mean that resonance does not occur at natural frequency when being damped?
