Explanation / Answer

As given in the question,

Resistance: R = 400

Capacitance: C = 72 pF = 72*10^-12 F

Inductance: L = 5 mH = 5*10^-3 H

(a) For the resonance frequency condition,

XC  = XL

=> 1 / (w*C) = w*L

=>   w  = 1 / sqrt[L*C]

   = 1 / sqrt[(5*10^-3)*(72*10^-12)] = 1.67*10^6 rad/s

So, the resonant frequency:

f  = w / 2  = (1.67*10^6) / 2 = 2.65*10^5 Hz

(b)   At this resonant frequency condition,

Reactance of the inductor:   XL  = w*L  = (1.67*10^6)*(5*10^-3) = 3.34*10^8

Reactance of the capacitor:   XC  = 1 / w*C = 1 / (1.67*10^6)*(72*10^-12) = 8.32*10^3
