Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a series RLC circuit with a damping ratio of exactly 0.5. Specify your values for R, L, and C.

💡 Hint: Adjust values scenario to match ζ = 0.5.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a parallel RLC circuit with R = 10Ω, find inductance L if the damping ratio is 2 and capacitance C is 0.1F.

💡 Hint: Solve for L in the ζ formula.
