SUMMARY
The impedance of a series RLC circuit consisting of a 1170-ohm resistor, a 1.46 μF capacitor, and a 2.7 H inductor connected to a 350 Hz AC source with a maximum voltage of 230 V is calculated to be approximately 6.05179 kiloohms. The calculations utilize the formulas for inductive reactance (XL = 2πfL) and capacitive reactance (XC = 1 / (2πfC)). The values obtained for XL and XC are 5937.61 ohms and 0.000245 ohms, respectively. The final impedance is derived from the equation Z = sqrt(R^2 + (XL - XC)^2).
