  1. Use the half-power condition for a series LCR circuit

    In a series LCR circuit, the current amplitude is I=VR2+(ωL−1ωC)2.I = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + \left(\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C}\right)^2}}.I=R2+(ωL−ωC1​)2​V​.

    The current is maximum at resonance, where ω0L=1ω0C,\omega_0 L = \frac{1}{\omega_0 C},ω0​L=ω0​C1​, so Imax⁡=VR.I_{\max} = \frac{V}{R}.Imax​=RV​.

    We are given the two angular frequencies at which I=Imax⁡2.I = \frac{I_{\max}}{\sqrt{2}}.I=2​Imax​​.

    These are the half-power frequencies ω1\omega_1ω1​ and ω2\omega_2ω2​.

  2. Bandwidth relation

    For a series LCR circuit, the half-power angular frequencies satisfy ω2−ω1=RL.\omega_2 - \omega_1 = \frac{R}{L}.ω2​−ω1​=LR​.

    Given: ω1=212 rad s−1,ω2=232 rad s−1.\omega_1 = 212\ \text{rad s}^{-1}, \qquad \omega_2 = 232\ \text{rad s}^{-1}.ω1​=212 rad s−1,ω2​=232 rad s−1.

    So, ω2−ω1=232−212=20 rad s−1.\omega_2 - \omega_1 = 232 - 212 = 20\ \text{rad s}^{-1}.ω2​−ω1​=232−212=20 rad s−1.

    Hence, RL=20.\frac{R}{L} = 20.LR​=20.

  3. Substitute the resistance

    Given R=5 Ω.R = 5\ \Omega.R=5 Ω.

    Therefore, 5L=20.\frac{5}{L} = 20.L5​=20.

    So, L=520=0.25 H.L = \frac{5}{20} = 0.25\ \text{H}.L=205​=0.25 H.

  4. Convert into mH

    0.25 H=250 mH.0.25\ \text{H} = 250\ \text{mH}.0.25 H=250 mH.

  5. Final answer

    250 mH\boxed{250\ \text{mH}}250 mH​
