LC Resonance Frequency Calculator
The LC circuit, also called a resonant circuit or tuned circuit consists of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C. When connected together, an electrical current can alternate between them at the circuit's resonant frequency:

or
where L is the inductance in henries, and C is the capacitance in farads. The angular frequency has units of radians per second.
LC circuits are used either for generating signals at a particular frequency, or picking a signal at a particular frequency from a more complex signal. They are key components in many applications such as oscillators, filters, tuners and frequency mixers. An LC circuit is an idealized model since it assumes there is no dissipation of energy due to resistance.[wikipedia]
How to use:
1. Enter desired f and C to calculate L (delete L before Calculate) or
2. Enter desired f and L to calculate C (delete C before Calculate) or
3. Enter desired L and C to calculate f (delete f before Calculate) or
