Homework Statement



A 5 Micro-F Capacitor, a 65mH Inductor, and a 10 Ohm resistor are connected in series
Find the resonant frequency of this circuit.
Determine the peak current at resonance, if the peak voltage is 100V


Homework Equations



Fr = (1/2Pi) Square Root(1/LC)
I don't know the equation for Peak Current ... HELP!

The Attempt at a Solution



Resonant Frequency = 883 Hertz
Maximum Current = 10 Amps

You should have calculated the peak current by doing:
[tex]I_{peak} = \frac{V_{peak}}{Z_{total}}[/tex]
Where Z_total is the total impedance of the circuit.
