Proof of natural frequency in RCL circuit

AI Thread Summary
The equation 2*pi*f = 1/√(LC) describes the resonant frequency of an ideal RCL circuit, derived from the differential equation governing charge flow. The resonant frequency occurs when the inductive reactance (XL) equals the capacitive reactance (Xc). This condition is expressed as 2∏fL = 1/2∏fC, which leads to the voltage being in phase with the current. Resources were shared to further explain the differential equation related to this topic. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing RCL circuits effectively.

I am just wondering what is the proof of the equation
2*pi*f = 1/√(LC)

Welcome to PF;
The relation is derived from the differential equation describing the flow of charge in an ideal RCL circuit.
 
So what is the differential equation describing the flow of charge in an ideal RCL circuit?
 
I was going to suggest this one - but that works too. :)
 
The resonant frequency is when XL = Xc
That is when 2∏fL = 1/2∏fC
When this condition is satisfied V is in phase with I.
 
This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
