Solving RLC Circuit with 2 500pF Capacitors and 80mH Inductor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a series RLC circuit with two 500pF capacitors, an 80mH inductor, and a 2.0K ohm resistor at a frequency of 55 kHz. The original poster initially calculated the total impedance incorrectly, arriving at Zt=(2.0+25.7j) instead of the correct Zt=(2.0+16.07j). A request for clarification on the circuit configuration was made to better understand the components' arrangement. Ultimately, the poster resolved the issue by identifying a calculation error. The conversation highlights the importance of clear circuit configuration details for accurate impedance calculations.

Hey

ive got a problem with a series rlc circuit

it has 2 500pF capacitors and 1 80mh Inductor and one 2.0K ohm resistor circuit has a freqency of 55 KHZ

trying to calculate total impedance I am getting the wrong answer

im getting:

Xc= 1.93 kohms
Xl = 27.6 kohms

xl-xc = 25.7 kohms

so my final answer is Zt=(2.0+25.7j)

but the real answer is (2.0+16.07j)

please help haha
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
You need to tell us the circuit configuration, other wise how can we know what is in parallel and what is in series? Or even if the circuit can be reduced.
circuit has a frequency of 55 KHZ
That is the input frequency or the natural frequency.

Please elaborate on your question/problem.
 
nevermind figured it out...made a calculation error haha :biggrin:
 
Ok good luck, just take what I said for future posts then please it will make answer them easier.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
