Calculating Impedance, Supply Current and Voltages in Series RLC Circuit

An inductor, a capacitor, and a resistor are in series with an AC source. If the capacitor is 470 nF, the inductor is <math display='inline'><mrow><mn>24</mn><mo rspace="thickmathspace">&#x2062;</mo><mi mathvariant="normal" class="MathML-Unit">mH</mi></mrow></math>, and the resistor is 800 Ω<math display='inline'><mrow><mn>800</mn><mo rspace="thickmathspace">&#x2062;</mo><mo mathvariant="normal" class="MathML-Unit">&#x03A9;</mo></mrow></math>, what is the circuit’s resonant (angular) frequency?

a) i = 0.89A b) VR = 17.8V c) VL = 71.2V d) 3.4V

a) i = 0.85A b) VR = 17V c) VL = 68V d) 3.2V

a) i = 1.20A b) VR = 24V c) VL = 96V d) 4.5V

An AC source operates at an RMS voltage of 70 V and a frequency of 85 Hz. If the source is connected in series to a 20 Ω resistor, a 0.15 H inductor and a 500 µF capacitor, answer the following questions:&nbsp;a) What is the maximum current produced by the source?&nbsp;b) What is the maximum voltage across the resistor?&nbsp;c) What is the maximum voltage across the inductor?&nbsp;d) What is the maximum voltage across the capacitor?
