Basic Electrical Engineering (PDFDrive) (099-100)

This document summarizes key properties of parallel LC circuits: 1) The resonance frequency of a parallel LC circuit with zero resistance is given by fo = 1/2π√LC. 2) At resonance, the circuit has maximum impedance and minimum current. The power factor is unity. 3) Near resonance, the circuit behaves inductive below fo and capacitive above fo. 4) For an ideal parallel LC circuit with zero resistance and loss, the input impedance becomes infinite at resonance, resulting in zero current from the power source. Energy oscillates between the inductor and capacitor.

It is seen that at resonance the circuit has maximum impedance and hence the current
is minimum. At this frequency since the susceptance of the circuit is zero, the power factor of

For this the frequency of resonance is

fo = 2n /LC . . . ( 1 . 36)
and it can be seen that at the frequency the input impedance is

and hence theoretically the current drawn from the source is zero. This means there will be
current in each parallel path but the net current from the supply is zero i.e. there will be
exchange of energy between the inductance and the capacitance of the circuit. Actually be­
cause of the small winding resistance of the coil some power is lost so the reactive currents are
not exactly identical and there is a small current from the source to take into account this loss.

Therefore, Yin is resistive at all frequencies that means resonance will occur at all fre­
