Engineering Resonate Frequency of Parallel RLC Circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the resonant frequency of a parallel RLC circuit. Participants analyze the equation involving complex impedance and the imaginary part, seeking clarity on how to derive the resonant frequency. The key equation presented is jω0(0.1) - (j2ω0)/(4 + 4ω0^2) = 0, which simplifies to find the resonant condition. The conversation highlights the challenge of understanding the derivation process and the importance of correctly identifying terms in the equation. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes the need for clear communication and problem-solving in circuit analysis.

Determine the resonant frequency of the circuit in Fig 14.28 (See attached)


Homework Equations



\begin{array}{l}<br /> {\rm{How is }} \to {\omega _0}0.1 - \frac{{2{\omega _0}}}{{4 + 4\omega _0^2}} \\ <br /> {\rm{derived from }} \to j{\omega _0}0.1 + \frac{{2 - j{\omega _0}}}{{4 + 4{\omega ^2}}} \\ <br /> \end{array}

I'm sure this is not difficult but I just can't see it.

You consider just the two terms with a "j" in them. I've corrected where you omitted a "2".
\begin{array}{l}<br /> {\rm{How is }} \to {\omega _0}0.1 - \frac{{2{\omega _0}}}{{4 + 4\omega _0^2}} \\ <br /> {\rm{derived from }} \to j{\omega}0.1 + \frac{{2 - j{2{\omega} }}}{{4 + 4{\omega ^2}}} \\ <br /> \end{array}
 
Still can't see it.
 
One of the terms with a j in it is jω0.1

What is the other term with a j in it?

The other term is -j2w. I still can't see how this helps.

That's only the numerator; what is its denominator?
 
How's this? I new it was simple and the answer was already sitting there. It felt a bit like pulling teeth.

Thanks for that.
