Impedance |Z|61.79 Ω
Phase angle−35.99 °
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
