A coworker of yours was making measurements of a large solenoid that is connected to an ac voltage source. Unfortunately, she left for vacation before she completed the analysis, and your boss has asked you to finish it. You are given a graph of 1>I 2 versus v2 (Fig. P31.64), where I is the current in the circuit and v is the angular frequency of the source. A note attached to the graph says that the voltage amplitude of the source was kept constant at 12.0 V. Calculate the resistance and inductance of the solenoid

You are analyzing an ac circuit that contains a solenoid and a capacitor in series with an ac source that has voltage amplitude 90.0 V and angular frequency v. For different capacitors in the circuit, each with known capacitance, you measure the value of the frequency vres for which the current in the circuit is a maximum. You plot your measured values on a graph of v 2 res versus 1>C (Fig. P31.65). The maximum current for each value of C is the same, you note, and equal to 4.50 A. Calculate the resistance and inductance of the solenoid.
