Homework Statement
Consider a circuit with a capacitor C in series an inductor of inductance L. Explain what happens when ω2LC=1, without calculations, using your knowledge and intuition.
Homework Equations
1/Z = 1/impedance = 1/(iωL) +1/(iωC)
i is pure imaginary.
The Attempt at a Solution
Well, unfortunately I have no intuition. I don't know what the quantity ω2LC represents, but it appears in the equation when you rearrange to find Z. So when I worked out Z, it was -1/(iωC+iωL) when the set condition is met. Which is a bit weird, because -ve resistance makes no sense...?
I've obviously gone wrong somewhere!
