Enter the inductance and capacitance into the calculator to determine the resonance frequency of your tank circuit.

Resonance Frequency Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the resonance frequency of a tank circuit:

Resonance Frequency = 1 / (2 * π * √(L * C))

Variables:

  • Resonance Frequency is the frequency at which the tank circuit resonates (Hz)
  • L is the inductance (H)
  • C is the capacitance (F)

To calculate the resonance frequency, you need to know the inductance and capacitance values. Using the formula above, you can determine the frequency at which your circuit will resonate.

What is Resonance Frequency?

Resonance frequency refers to the specific frequency at which a tank circuit naturally oscillates. In a tank circuit, which typically consists of an inductor and a capacitor, resonance occurs when the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance, resulting in a maximum amplitude of oscillation.

How to Calculate Resonance Frequency?

The following steps outline how to calculate the resonance frequency using the given formula:


  1. First, determine the inductance (L) and capacitance (C) values of your circuit components.
  2. Next, use the formula: Resonance Frequency = 1 / (2 * π * √(L * C)).
  3. Plug in the values of L and C into the formula.
  4. Calculate the resonance frequency by performing the arithmetic operations.
  5. Use the calculator above to verify your calculations and get the precise resonance frequency.
