If an inductor and a capacitor are connected in parallel with each other, and then briefly energized by connection to a DC voltage source, oscillations will develop as energy is exchanged from the capacitor to inductor and vice versa. These oscillations may be viewed with an oscilloscope connected in parallel with the inductor/capacitor circuit. Parallel inductor/capacitor circuits are commonly known as tank circuits. Figure 4 below shows a commonly used tank-circuit. Figure 4 A tank circuit's natural frequency, called the resonant frequency, is determined by the size of the inductor and the size of the capacitor, according to the following equation: 1 fresonant 2n √LC where fis the frequency, given in Hertz (Hz). Ideally, the oscillations produced by a tank circuit continue indefinitely. Realistically, oscillations will decay in amplitude over the course of several cycles due to the resistive and magnetic losses of the inductor. DATA & ANALYSIS: For a tank-circuit similar to that shown in Figure 4, the inductor has an inductance of 50 H and the capacitor has a capacitance of 75 µF. Compute the resonant frequency of the circuit.

What is the relationship between a sinusoidal current and a sinusoidal voltage in an inductor?
You connect a 100-Ω resistor, a 800-mH inductor, and a 10.0-μF capacitor in series across a 60.0-Hz, 120-V (peak) source. The approximate resonant frequency of your circuit is Group of answer choices 37 Hz 60 Hz 354 Hz None of these is correct. 56 Hz
A V = 86-V source is connected in series with an R = 1.8-kΩ resistor and an L = 26-H inductor and the current is allowed to reach maximum. At time t = 0 a switch is thrown that disconnects the voltage source but leaves the resistor and the inductor connected in their own circuit. 1) How much time, in milliseconds, is needed for the current in the circuit to drop to 12 % of its value at t = 0? 2) How much energy, in millijoules, does the circuit dissipate during that time?

In a home stereo system, low sound frequencies are handled by large “woofer” speakers, and high frequencies by smaller “tweeter” speakers. For the best sound reproduction, low-frequency currents from the amplifier should not reach the tweeter. One way to do this is to place a capacitor in series with the 8.0 Ω resistance of the tweeter; one then has an RLC circuit with no inductor L (that is, an RLC circuit with L = 0). What value of C should be chosen so that the current through the tweeter at 200 Hz is half its value at very high frequencies?

A charged capacitor and an inductor are connected in series. At time t = 0 the current is zero, but the capacitor is charged. If T is the period of the resulting oscillations, the next time after t = 0 that the current is a maximum is ?
In a home stereo system, low sound frequencies are handled by large "woofer" speakers, and high frequencies by smaller "tweeter" speakers. For the best sound reproduction, low-frequency currents from the amplifier should not reach the tweeter. One way to do this is to place a capacitor in series with the 9.0 Ω resistance of the tweeter; one then has an RLC circuit with no inductor L (that is, an RLC circuit with L = 0). What value of C should be chosen so that the current through the tweeter at 200 Hz is half its value at very high frequencies?
