A resistor of $100 \Omega$, an inductor of $\frac{25}{\pi^2} \mathrm{mH}$ and a capacitor of $0.1 \mu \mathrm{F}$ are connected in series to an ac source. The impedance of the circuit is minimum for a frequency of
  1. $5 \mathrm{kHz}$
  2. $10 \mathrm{kHz}$
  3. $15 \mathrm{kHz}$
  4. $20 \mathrm{kHz}$

Solution

The impedance of the circuit is minimum for a frequency $\begin{aligned} & \omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{LC}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{25}{\pi^2} \times 10^{-3} \times 0.1 \times 10^{-6}}} \\ & 2 \pi \mathrm{f}=\frac{\pi}{5} \times 10^5 \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}=10 \mathrm{KHz} \end{aligned}$
