Does Component Configuration Affect Resonant Frequency Calculation?

AI Thread Summary
The configuration of components in a circuit significantly affects the calculation of resonant frequency. In a series circuit with a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, the resonant frequency differs from that of a parallel configuration. Specifically, while the formula for resonant frequency may be similar when resistance is low, it diverges when resistance is high. The discussion highlights that in a parallel resonant circuit, the inductor and resistor are in series, with the capacitor connected in parallel. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate resonant frequency calculations.

When calculating the resonant frequency of a circuit, does it matter whether or not the components in that circuit are in series or in parallel?

Say...for a simple circuit with three components in series with a voltage source (a resistor, an inductor and a capacitor for example). The resonant frequency of this circuit is not going to be the same if these three elements were all in parallel with each other but still in series with a voltage source right? If this is the case then calculating the resonant frequency for a parallel circuit is different from calculating the resonant frequency of a series circuit. Just how?? I don't quite know but if anyone could steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! :D

In parallel resonant circuit all the three components are not connected in parallel. In that L and R are in series and C is parallel to this combination. If the value of R is small , formula for resonant frequency is the same for both series and parallel combination. If R is large then
2XpiXfrequency = [ 1/LC - R^2/L^2]^1/2
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
