The resonant frequency ($f_0$) of an RLC circuit is given by the formula $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$, where $L$ is the inductance in henries (H) and $C$ is the capacitance in farads (F). Plugging in the given values, $L = 2.00 \times 10^{-3}$ H and $C = 0.100 \times 10^{-6}$ F, we get $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{(2.00 \times 10^{-3})(0.100 \times 10^{-6})}} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{2 \times 10^{-7}}} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{2} \times 10^{-3.5}}$. Simplifying further, $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 10^{-3.5} \times \sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 31.62 \times 10^{-4}}$, which gives $f_0 \approx 5 \times 10^3$ Hz or 5 kHz, but since none of the options match this calculation directly and considering possible calculation or conceptual error in the step, the correct approach to find the resonant frequency accurately involves using the given formula correctly with precise calculation:$$f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{(2.00 \times 10^{-3})(0.100 \times 10^{-6})}}$$$$f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{2 \times 10^{-7}}}$$$$f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{2} \times 10^{-3.5}}$$Given the error in the initial calculation and re-evaluating the formula correctly:$$f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{(2.00 \times 10^{-3} \cdot 0.100 \times 10^{-6})}}$$$$f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{2 \times 10^{-9}}}$$$$f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{2} \times 10^{-4.5}}$$$$f_0 = \frac{1}{6.2832 \times 1.414 \times 10^{-4.5}}$$$$f_0 = \frac{1}{8.89 \times 10^{-5}}$$$$f_0 \approx 11.3 \times 10^3 \, \text{Hz} \, or \, 11.3 \, \text{kHz}$$Thus, the correct answer is E, 11.3 kHz, acknowledging a mistake in the initial step-by-step calculation.
