Rlc circuits Definition and 51 Threads

My inductor has 8 turns, 4 cm diameter and 4 cm length. The capacitor I use is a 1 microfarad polyester capacitor. When the copper wire inductor is connected to DC voltage the compass needle is deflected by 90 degrees and the multimeter detects 1 A or 1000 mA of current. When DC is switched...

Summary:: About resonant frequencies A series RLC circuit with R = 250 ohms and L = 0.6 H results in a leading phase angle of 60° at a frequency of 40 Hz. At what frequency will the circuit resonate? Answer is 81.2 Hz but i got a different answer. May someone please correct me.

I'm a bit confused with RLC circuit. If in series, IL = IL, max * cos(wt) If in parallel, IL = - IL, max * cos(wt) Are these correct?

If a voltage source is sinusoidal, then we can introduce a phasor map and come up with equations like$$V_0 e^{i \omega t} = I(R + i\omega L + \frac{1}{\omega C} i)$$where ##I## would also differ from ##V## by a complex phase. But if you set ##\omega = 0##, which would appear to correspond to...
