Resonant Frequency Formula

The resonant frequency is the frequency at which an oscillating system will vibrate if some outside force or damping did not act upon it. At this particular frequency, then, the system can respond with maximum amplitude to any outside driving force.

The form of resonant frequency is determined by what system it is: mass-spring system (mechanical system), or an RLC circuit (electrical circuit).

Formula

Where,

  • fo = resonant frequency in Hz

  • L = Inductance

  • C = Capacitance
