Options:
  • A \( \frac{10^{5}}{\Pi z} H z \)
  • B \( \frac{10^{-5}}{\Pi} H \)
  • C \( \frac{2}{\Pi} \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Hz} \)
  • D \( \frac{5}{\Pi} \times 10^{3} H z \)

The correct answer is: \( \frac{5}{\Pi} \times 10^{3} H z \)
Maximum power is dissipated at resonance
\(L=5 m H\) and \(C=2 \mu F\
The resonant frequency
\(\begin{aligned} f_{R} &=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}} \\ &=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{5 \times 10^{-3} \times 2 \times 10^{-6}}} \\ &=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{10^{-8}}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \times 10^{-4}} \\ &=\therefore F_{R}=\frac{10 \times 10^{3}}{2 \pi}=\frac{5 \times 10^{3}}{\pi} H z \end{aligned}\)
