Homework Statement



Well, I am not sure about my conversion and I need people to make sure I am doing it right.

I have a period, T, of 17.29 ms. To find the frquency it is 1/T= 57.836 s^-1. So the inductive is L=((1/(2*pi*frequency))^2)/C which C is 110*10^-6 and I got L=68.84 mh.

The lower case m are 10^-3 btw.

Can anyone make sure I did this right and the conversion...thanks!

I am not sure of this anymore but isn't the impedence of a capacitor = 1/(2*pi*f*C) ?
 


Well it doesn't matter if C is something or L is something...I just want to know what is L with the given values, more of plug and chug situation. I just want to know if I made my conversion right with the given equation.

well in that case, your conversion is correct.
 


Ok thanks then.
