What is the resonant frequency of a parallel RLC circuit if R is 4.7 kilohms, L is 200 microhenrys and C is 10 picofarads?

  1. A 3.56 kHz
  2. B 7.96 MHz
  3. C 7.96 kHz
  4. D 3.56 MHz

Correct answer: D — 3.56 MHz. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

The resonant frequency is 3.56 MHz because it depends only on the inductor and capacitor values, not the resistor. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
