Zobel network in parallel with a speaker

AI Thread Summary
A Zobel network, consisting of a capacitor and resistor, is connected in parallel with a speaker's inductance and resistance. The discussion focuses on deriving the resonance frequency formula, which is expressed as 1/2π√(1/LC(Rl² - L/C ÷ Rc² - L/C)). Participants are exploring the relationship between the reactive components of the circuit and the impedance at resonance, which behaves as a pure resistance. There is some confusion regarding whether the Zobel network is a series or parallel configuration, with clarification leaning towards it being a series RC in parallel with the speaker's series RL. The conversation indicates that further analysis of the complex impedance is necessary to fully understand the resonance conditions.

a zobel network consisting of a capacitor C and resistance Rc is connected in parallel to a speaker of inductance L and resistance Rl.show that frequency at resonance =1/2pi*Sq rt 1/LC(Rlsquare-L/C ÷ Rc square-L/C)

i have begun by equating the reactive components of the branch currents.
iL=iC
(but i don't seem to get anywhere to the expression what i want)

Is a zobel network a series RC or a parallel RC? Probably a series RC in parallel with the speaker's series RL?
 
it is a RC series connected in parallel with RL.

i have drawn the phasor diagram ( which i will upload later).
from the phasor diagram i can say that
iLsin thetha=iCsin thetha
 
Hint : Find the complex impedance of the combination. At resonance, the impedance will behave as a pure resistance (the reactive component vanishes).
 
i have derived the desired result. the second part of the problem(see atached)i do not know where to start.
