TL;DR
I am trying to reproduce the resonance curves at page 925 of "Physics, 10th edition" by Halliday et al.
It seems to me that there is something wrong in the values for the parameters

I tried to reproduce these curves. The values for the resistance are shown in the graph. The other values are ##L=100 {\rm \mu H}## and ##C=100 {\rm pF}##.
Using those values I get a much flatter curve, where the value at 0,9 is roughly 83% of the value at 1,00.
Am I missing something?

It seems to me that curves such as those in the figure are obtained with ##R = 0.2 {\Omega}##, ##R = 0.6 {\Omega}## and ##R = 2.0 {\Omega}##. Probably it is possible to obtain the same curves keeping the given values of the resistance and changing ##L## and ##C##.

Thank you for any insight
Francesco

sorry my bad. The curves are correct. Forget about it.
I tried to see if I could remove this post, but did not find a way.
 
No need to remove your thread. It will be interesting reading for users in the future searching for help on RLC resonant curve plots. :smile:

I will fix the typo in your ##C## value though. :wink:
