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

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 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
