Homework Statement



For a sinusoidally driven RLC circuit.

Draw accurate resonance curves for C = 0.01uF, L = 0.01mH and
i) R = 20 ohm
ii) R = 200 ohm

2. The attempt at a solution

Believe it or not, I do not have a single example of resonance curves in any of my textbooks. However, from my internet searches, I believe the resonance curves are supposed to look something like the one here:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/HBASE/electric/imgele/qresi.gif"

I know that at resonance,

[tex]i_0=\frac{V_0}{R}[/tex]

also

[tex]\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}[/tex]

and that

[tex]i=i_0\cos(\omega t + \phi)[/tex]

But how do I bring this all together into something coherent? Am I not supposed to know what V0 is?

Thanks!
