Problem 67P
An ac generator of variable frequency is connected to an RLC circuit with R = 12 Ω, L = 0.15 mH, and C = 0.20 mF. At a frequency of 1.0 kHz, the rms current in the circuit is larger than desired. Should the frequency of the generator be increased or decreased to reduce the current? Explain.
