Current in RLC Series Circuit: Need Help

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the current in an RLC series circuit with specific components: a 100-ohm resistor, a 0.01uF capacitor, a 25mH inductor, and a 50V AC voltage source at 1kHz. Participants noted that the capacitor value significantly affects the impedance, which in turn influences the current calculation. The user expressed uncertainty about the capacitor value, indicating that verifying component specifications is crucial for accurate results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RLC circuit theory

I checked your work and can't spot any mistake. Maybe the mistake is in the given data, are you sure the capacitor value is 0.01uF? Cause that is what makes the impendance big.

o sorry ,i just wasn't 100% sure that it was correct ,just wanted to make sure i have done everything right , thank you

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
