Justify why a direct current (DC) can be thought of as an alternating current (AC) signal with a frequency of 0.(Hint: Consider the limit f −→ 0) 2. A series RLC circuit has components with R = 100 Ω, L = 0.25 H, and C = 5µF. What is the resonant frequency of this circuit? Show all the work leading to your answer. 3. If you change the value of the resistor in the RLC circuit on question 2, will the resonant frequency change? Explain your answer. 4. Describe qualitatively the effect of high frequencies on the impedance of a capacitor. 5. Describe qualitatively the effect of very high frequencies on the impedance of an inductor. 6. Describe what happens to the impedance of an inductor at very high fre- quencies qualitatively. PHYS-204: Physics II Laboratory i
