You've decided to build a radio to listen to your favourite FM radio station, which broadcasts at 90.90 MHz. For the tuner, you'll be using an RLC circuit, but the only inductor you happen to have on hand has a value of 0.630 μH. Unfortunately, there's another radio station — which you don't want to listen to — at a nearby frequency of 90.50 MHz. To prevent any interference from this 90.50 MHz radio station, you want the peak current from it to be no more than 0.310% of the peak current from your favourite 90.90 MHz station. What value of resistor should you use in your RLC circuit? (Assume the two stations have the same strength.) Hint:You'll have to first calculate the value of the capacitor so that the radio tunes to 90.90 MHz.
