How it works
For an ideal lumped LC circuit, resonant frequency = 1 / (2π√(L × C)), with L in henries and C in farads.

Common questions
Will a real circuit resonate at exactly this frequency?
Usually not. Component tolerances, parasitic capacitance and inductance, damping and circuit loading can shift the measured response.
How does LC resonant frequency work?
