SUMMARY
The resonant frequency of the RLC circuit consisting of a 5 µF capacitor, a 65 mH inductor, and a 10 Ω resistor is calculated to be 883 Hz. The peak current at resonance, given a peak voltage of 100V, is determined to be 10 Amps. The peak current is derived using the formula Ipeak = Vpeak / Ztotal, where Ztotal represents the total impedance of the circuit.
