Answer

The inductor and the capacitor have the same reactance when the frequency is $~~650~Hz$, which is the same frequency as the natural frequency of an oscillating circuit with the same L and C.

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the inductor and the capacitor have the same reactance when the frequency is $~~650~Hz$ We can find $\omega$ in an oscillating circuit with the same L and C: $\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{L~C}}$ $\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{(6.0\times 10^{-3}~H)(10\times 10^{-6}~F)}}$ $\omega = 4082.5~rad/s$ We can find the frequency: $f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{4082.5~rad/s}{2\pi} = 650~Hz$ The inductor and the capacitor have the same reactance when the frequency is $~~650~Hz$, which is the same frequency as the natural frequency of an oscillating circuit with the same L and C.
