Homework Statement



What value of [itex]\omega[/itex] will cause the forced response [itex]v_0[/itex] in the circuit below to be zero?

Homework Equations



Phasor eqs.

The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]i\,=\,\frac{50\,-\,V_1}{2\Omega}\,=\,\frac{V_1\,-\,V_2}{5\,j\,\Omega}\,=\,\frac{V_2}{20\,j\,\Omega}[/tex]

If I substitute [itex]V_1\,=\,0[/itex], then I get:

[tex]25\,=\,-\frac{V_2}{5\,j\,\Omega}\,=\,\frac{V_2}{20\,j\,\Omega}[/tex]

How do I use this to find [itex]\omega[/itex]?

If you want Vo to be zero, the impedance of the series connection of the capacitor with the inductor must be zero.
You got the impedance of the capacitor wrong.
[tex]Z_C = \frac{-j}{\omega C}[/tex]
[tex]Z_L = j \omega L[/tex]

[tex]Z\,=\,\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,+\,20j\omega[/tex]

[tex]V_{OUT}\,=\,\frac{Z}{Z\,+\,2\Omega}[/tex]

We want [itex]V_{OUT}[/itex] to be zero:

[tex]0\,=\,\frac{\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,+\,20j\omega}{\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,+\,20j\omega\,+\,2\Omega}\,V_{IN}[/tex]

[tex]0\,=\,\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,+\,20j\omega}[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,=\,20j\omega[/tex]

[tex]\omega\,=\,\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Is that right?

We want [itex]V_{OUT}[/itex] to be zero:

[tex]0\,=\,\frac{\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,+\,20j\omega}{\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,+\,12j\omega\,+\,2\Omega}\,V_{IN}[/tex]

[tex]0\,=\,\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,+\,20j\omega}[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{1}{5j\omega}\,=\,20j\omega[/tex]

[tex]\omega\,=\,\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Yes, the impedance is zero at the resonant frequency [tex]\omega_0 = \frac{1}{(LC)^\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{10}[/tex]
