Finding Z(in) without a given frequency or value of w

[asdf12312]

Z(in) of circuit help??

Homework Statement

A. 10+j2.5 (Ω)
B. 10-j0.4 (Ω)
C. 10-j2.5 (Ω)
D. 10+j0.4 (Ω)

Homework Equations

Z(L)=jwl
Z(C)=-j/wc

The Attempt at a Solution

the problem asks for z(in) without any frequency w given? i think i was just confused by the wording of this problem. s=sigma+jw so does that mean, j2 given means w=2?? then answer would be 10+j2.5 (A). but I'm unsure how to do this without any w.

Yeah, it looks like they are asking for Z(w=j2), so j2 must be the frequency w. 2Hz shifted by 90 degrees...?

Remember your transfer function can be expressed in the form H(jω) = Vo(jω)/Vi(jω), where we can denote jω by s.

Here you are trying to find the input impedance Z(i), or in other words Z(jω), where Z(jω) = Z(2j).

So you can conclude that ω = 2 rad/s or ω = 2*pi*f = 2 and find the frequency.

Find the total impedance of the system and substitute your value of ω.

The general expression is V(s). To express in the frequency domain, we simply substitute s with jω, giving V(jω)

So V(j2) indicates V(jω) with ω=2 radians/sec.
