Consider a series RLC circuit where R = 651 Ω and C = 6.25 μF. However, the inductance L of the inductor is unknown. To find its value, you decide to perform some simple measurements. You apply an ac voltage that peaks at 72.0 V and observe, using an oscilloscope, that the resonance angular frequency occurs at 39700 s–1. What is the inductance of the inductor in millihenrys?
The resonance angular frequency of the RLC circuit is
Here, inductance of the inductor is L and capacitance of the capacitor is C.
Squaring the above equation and rearranging,
Substitute 39700 s-1 for and 6.25 F for C in the above equation,
Therefore, the inductance of the inductor is 0.102 millihenry or mH.
