Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Cannot be determined from the information provided
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Resonance in RLC networks is a precise function of inductance and capacitance (and topology). Without actual component values or a schematic, any numerical statement such as “f0 is 19 kHz” cannot be verified. This repaired question probes whether you rely on the correct formula rather than accepting an unsupported number.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
For both series and ideal parallel RLC circuits, the undamped resonant frequency is f0 = 1 / (2 * π * sqrt(L * C)). Resistance affects bandwidth and peak amplitudes but does not set the ideal f0 value by itself. Hence, without L and C, there is no way to compute f0 and compare it with 19 kHz.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Any attempt to “guess” f0 requires assumed L and C; changing either by a factor of 4 changes f0 by a factor of 2, illustrating the sensitivity and the impossibility of validation here.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Memorizing example frequencies from textbooks and assuming they generalize without the underlying component values.
