XL31.42 Ω
XC67.73 Ω
Resonant frequency73.41 Hz

Step-by-step solution

Reactances

ω = 2π·50 = 314.2 rad/s
XL = ωL = 31.42 Ω
XC = 1/(ωC) = 67.73 Ω

Series impedance

Z = R + j(XL − XC) = 50 + j−36.31 Ω
|Z| = √(50² + −36.31²) = 61.79 Ω
φ = atan(−36.31/50) = −35.99°

Resonance

f0 = 1/(2π√(LC)) = 73.41 Hz

Key formulas

Impedances
ZR = R, ZL = jωL, ZC = 1/(jωC)
Angular frequency
ω = 2πf
Magnitude and angle
|Z| = √(R² + X²), φ = atan(X/R)
Phasor Ohm’s law
V = I·Z
