What is resonant frequency ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the frequency of the applied alternating source `(omega_(r))` is equal to the natural frequency `[(1)/(sqrt(LC))]` of the RLC circuit, the in the circuit reaches its maximum value. Then the circuit is said to be electrical resonance. The frequency at which resonance takes place is called resonant frequency.
