Homework Statement



The frequency, ω, of the source in the circuit of Figure 2 is adjusted until ig is in phase with vg.

(a)using complex notation, determine the value of ω (rad/sec)
(b)if vg = 20 sin ω t [where ω is the frequency found in 2(a)], determine an expression for the output voltage, v0

I think your frequency ended up being one order of magnitude too high. Check your math.
 
Thanks gneill.
Ah so where I have 10 to the power of 8, it should be to the power of 6?

Well, you've got both 106 and 108 in the relevant area of your work, so you really should be more specific. But yes, that is the issue.
