Engineering Solving a Parallel RLC Circuit with a Variable Frequency Supply

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a parallel RLC circuit involving a 0.20 H inductor, a 60-ohm resistor, and a 20 µF capacitor connected to a 20 V variable frequency supply. Participants clarify the configuration of the components, debating whether the resistor and inductor are in series or parallel with the capacitor. It is noted that the resistance is related to the wire's resistivity in the inductor, suggesting a series connection for accurate modeling. The circuit diagram created by one participant is deemed acceptable. Overall, the focus is on understanding the correct arrangement of the components in the circuit.

Homework Statement



I have done a RLC circuit diagram for the problem above but I am not quite sure is it correct?

From the description in the problem above I understand that we have L and R in series, both connected in parallel with C?

Or R,L and C are connected in parallel?

How do you understand problem above?

The resistance is associated with the resistivity of the wire comprising the inductor, so the series connection of the coil and resistance is a reasonable "bulk model" of the situation. Your diagram looks fine.
