Calculating frequency

[davenn]

it would be because you forgot to convert 200mH into Henries and 10 pF into Farads
do that and try again and you should get the correct final result ( the answer is still in Hz)

Darn it, i got 7.02481473e-8 as the answer. This is what i did:

1 / 2 * pi * sqrt (0.0002 * (10 * 10 to the power of -12)) = 7.02481473e-8

I don't get it.

 

[davenn]

you are using the wrong numbers

200mH isn't 0.0002 H its 0.2 H

10pF = 1 x 10^-11 F

Its all good. I found out that i had made a mistake with the henries. I accidentally thought mH was micro when it was really milli. I guess it comes with learning. Thanks for the help davenn.

Cheers

Did you use the right multipliers? 1/1000 for mH and 1/1,000,000,000,000 for pF?

I get the answer in the example.
