Current in RLC Series Circuit: Need Help

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the current in an RLC series circuit with specific component values: a 100-ohm resistor, a 0.01uF capacitor, a 25mH inductor, and a 50V AC voltage source at 1kHz. Participants suggest that the issue may lie in the capacitor's value, as it significantly affects impedance. One contributor confirms that they cannot find any mistakes in the calculations provided. The original poster expresses uncertainty about the capacitor's value and seeks reassurance about their work. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of verifying component specifications in circuit analysis.

So am trying to find the current in the RLC series circuit ,but i think i have done something wrong ,if anyone could tell me where i went wrong ,it would be great ,thank you

Resistor-100ohms
Capacitor-0.01uF
Inductor-25mH
Voltage Source-50v a.c
1kHz

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?
