Sample Question
Question: A series RLC circuit has R = 10 ohms, L = 50 mH, and C = 200 microfarads. What is the resonant frequency of the circuit?
(A) 50.3 rad/s
(B) 100.0 rad/s
(C) 316.2 rad/s
(D) 447.2 rad/s
View Solution
The resonant frequency of a series RLC circuit is given by:
f0 = 1 / (2 · pi · sqrt(L · C))
In angular frequency: omega0 = 1 / sqrt(L · C)
omega0 = 1 / sqrt(0.050 × 0.000200) = 1 / sqrt(0.00001) = 1 / 0.003162 = 316.2 rad/s
Answer: (C)
How to Use This Book Effectively
Getting the most out of this practice exam book depends on how you integrate it into your overall study plan. Here is a proven approach:
- Start with a diagnostic pass. Work through 20–30 questions under timed conditions without looking at the solutions. Score yourself honestly to identify which topics need the most attention.
- Study weak topics first. Use the topic breakdown table to target your weakest areas. Review the relevant sections of the NCEES FE Reference Handbook and your study materials before attempting more questions in those topics.
- Review every solution. Even for questions you answered correctly, read the solution. You may discover a faster method or confirm that your approach matches the expected solution path.
- Simulate exam conditions. Once you have reviewed the material, work through the remaining questions in a timed session. The real exam gives you about 2.9 minutes per question — practice at that pace.
- Track your progress. Keep a log of which topics and question types give you the most trouble. Revisit those areas in the final week before your exam.
