#### Problem 10: Analysis of an RLC Circuit

**Given:**

For the circuit shown,

![Circuit Diagram](link_to_circuit_diagram_image)

1. **Component values:**
    - Resistor (\( R \)) = 10 Ω
    - Inductor (\( L \)) = 10 mH
    - Capacitor (\( C \)) = 10 μF
    - Voltage source: \( (10 \text{ V}) \cos{\omega t} \)

---

**Questions and Solutions:**

**a. What is the resonance frequency in Hz?**

The resonance frequency \( f_0 \) for an RLC circuit is given by:
\[ f_0 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}} \]

**b. What is the circuit's peak current at resonance?**

At resonance, the peak current \( I_{peak} \) is given by:
\[ I_{peak} = \frac{\epsilon_0}{R} \]
where \( \epsilon_0 \) is the peak voltage of the AC source.

**c. If the inductance is doubled, what is the new resonance frequency in Hz?**

If \( L' = 2L \), the new resonance frequency is:
\[ f_0' = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L'C}} = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{2LC}} = \frac{f_0}{\sqrt{2}} \]

**d. If instead of (c), the resistance is tripled, what is the new resonance frequency?**

The resonance frequency \( f_0 \) is independent of the resistance \( R \). Hence, tripling the resistance does not affect the resonance frequency. The resonance frequency remains:
\[ f_0 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}} \]

**e. The peak current for this circuit at any frequency \( \omega \) is given by:**
\[ I = \frac{\epsilon_0}{\sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}} \]
where \( X_L = \omega L \) is the inductive reactance and \( X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \) is the capacitive reactance.

Explain mathematically why this peak current is maxed out only when driven
