RLC Circuit: Calculate Resonant Frequency, Reactance & Impedence

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the resonant frequency, reactance, and impedance of an RLC series circuit with given values of resistance, inductance, and capacitance. The resonant frequency is calculated to be approximately 795.77 kHz, with inductive and capacitive reactance at resonance both around 2000 ohms. The impedance at resonance equals the resistance, which is 500 ohms, and the RMS current is determined to be 0.002 A. Additionally, the RMS voltage across each circuit element is calculated, confirming the total voltage remains consistent at 1V. A concern is raised about a potential error in the inductance value used in the calculations, suggesting a discrepancy between the stated value and the printed question.

This is my question 1.

and this is my question 2.

in a RLC series circuit show above are replaced following : R=500Ω L=0.4mH and C=100pF
the circuit is connected to the terminals of an ac source with an rms voltage of 1V, and a variable frequency calculate the following
A) resonant frequency
ans: f = 1/2*pi*sqrt(LC)
= 1/(2*pi*sqrt(0.0004 * 100 * 10^-12)
= 795.77 Khz

b) the inductive and capacitive reactance at resonance
ans: XL = 2*pi*f*L
= 2*pi* 795.775*10^3*0.0004
= 2000 ohm

Xc = 1/(2*pi*f*C)
= 1/(2*pi* 795.775*10^3 * 100 * 10^-12)
= 1999.9998 ohm

C) the impedance at resonance

ans : impedence of resonance is resistance of circuit : z = R = 500 ohm

D) the rms current at resonance
ans: I = V/R = 1/500 = 0.002A

E) the rms voltage across each element at resonance
Ans: Vr = IR
= 0.002 * 500
= 1V

VL = IXL
= 0.002 * 2000
= 4V

Vc = IXc
= 0.002 * 1999.99
= 3.99998 V

So am i doing it right?? because
i got another reply that says this :

In your calculation you have used L = 0.4mH but the printed question has L = 0.4H
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
