DATA You are analyzing an ac circuit that contains a solenoid and a capacitor in series with an ac source that has voltage amplitude 90.0 V and angular frequency ω. For different capacitors in the circuit, each with known capacitance, you measure the value of the frequency ωres for which the current in the circuit is a maximum. You plot your measured values on a graph of ωres2 versus 1/C (Fig. P31.65). The maximum current for each value of C is the same, you note, and equal to 4.50 A. Calculate the resistance and inductance of the solenoid.
