In a circuit with AC voltage and serial coupling of a coil and a capacitor, there is supposed to be a "resonance" frequency of some kind. Can anyone explain this and a solution?

Found it!

f = 1 / 2pi(LC)^1/2

Yep. This is a series LC circuit.

Yes. The resonance frequency occurs when Xl = Xc at which point Z (Impedance) is minimum.

Any physical circuit has some R (resistance). The "Impedance" (resistance dynamically) of the circuit at resonance is:

Z = (R^2+(Xl-Xc)^2)^.5
