Solution
(i) Resonant angular frequency
`omega_0 = 1/(sqrt(LC)) = 1/sqrt(10 xx 40 xx 10^6)`
`= 1/(sqrt (400 xx 10^-6 ))= 1/(20 xx 10^-3)`
`=1000/20`
`= 50 \text {rads}^-1`
(ii) At resonant frequency, we know that the inductive reactance cancels out the capacitive reactance.
The impedance = Z = 60Ω the value of resistance
The current amplitude at resonant frequency
`I_0 = E_0/Z = sqrt(2E_v)/R = (sqrt2 xx 240)/60`
` = 339.36/60 = 5.66A`
(iii) The R.M.S. value of current
`I_v = I_0/sqrt2 = 5.66/sqrt2 = 4A`
For R.M.S potential drop across inductor
`V_1 = I_VX_L`
`= I_V xx omega L`
`= 4 xx 50 xx 10`
`= 200 xx 10`
`= 2000 V`
