FAQs

Question: What is resonance in an RLC circuit?
Answer: Resonance occurs when the inductive and capacitive reactances in a circuit are equal, resulting in maximum current flow at a specific frequency.

Question: How do I calculate the resonant frequency of an RLC circuit?
Answer: The resonant frequency can be calculated using the formula: f₀ = 1 / (2π√(LC)), where L is inductance and C is capacitance.
