I have a questioning about simplifying RLC circuits.
I have a series RLC (resonant) circuit. I rewrote the equations in terms of impedances i.e
Z = R + jwL + 1/jwC = R + jwL -jwC
For the sake of simplicity, lets assume that the resulting equation ended up being Z = 1+ j2. (If w = 1, L = 5, C = 3, R = 1)
Therefore, in my computer simulation, i just included a resistor and an inductor in my model. Since this is what is effectively a RL circuit, how can i calculate the resonant frequency? This doesn't seem to make sense to me since a regular RL circuit does not resonate.
I have included the angles (j), and the magnitude, so why doesn't this simplification work?
Thank you.
