When XL is equal to XC, the impedance is nearly equal to R. Tables I and
II of Appendix A show that when F = 2,000 Hz, L = 0.006 henry and C = 0.000001
farad; XL = 75.4 ohms and XC = 79 ohms. Since the reactances are nearly equal,
the circuit is largely resistive at approximately 2,000 Hz.
The circuit
impedance is therefore approximately equal to the value of R (157 ohm).
