  1. $\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{LC}}}$
$ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{200\times10^{-3}\times500\times10^{-6}}} = 100 \text{ radian s }^{-1}$

$\big(\text{or } \text{ v} = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{50}{\pi} \text{Hz}\approx51.9\text{Hz})$
  1. $\text{I} = \frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}} = \frac{100}{10} = 10 \text{A}$
  2. Q-factor $\frac{1}{\text{R}}\sqrt{\frac{\text{L}}{\text{C}}}$ $\big(\text{Q-factor } = \frac{\omega_{\circ}\text{L}}{\text{R}}\big)$
