Problem

In a laboratory experiment a student wishes to build a series resonator using a 5.0 mH5.0\,\text{mH} inductor. (i) Calculate the value of the capacitor needed to obtain a resonant frequency of 1.0 kHz1.0\,\text{kHz}. (ii) The available capacitors have a tolerance of ±5 %\pm 5\,\%. Determine the maximum and minimum resonant frequencies the circuit might actually exhibit due to this tolerance (round each answer to the nearest hertz).
