Finding parallel resistance of an RLC circuit at resonance from V

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the equivalent parallel resistance (Rp) of an RLC parallel circuit at resonance using measured voltage (V). It is established that at resonance, Rp equals the impedance (Z) of the circuit. The user expresses confusion about utilizing the voltage measurement to calculate the resistance, indicating a need for clarity on the relationship between voltage and resistance in this context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RLC circuit theory
  • Knowledge of resonance in electrical circuits

Homework Statement


I need to be able to determine the equivalent parallel resistance of an RLC parallel circuit, from a measured voltage when the circuit is at resonance.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I know the values of the circuit element, but I'm not sure how one is supposed to use V to determine the resistance here. This feels like an incredibly easy problem but I'm stuck. I know at resonance R_p = Z, (R_p as the equivalent parallel resistance). Any help would be great
