Best answer
Condition for series resonance: in an R-L-C series circuit, resonance occurs when the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance, XL = XC, so the net reactance is zero, the impedance is purely resistive (Z = R, minimum), current is maximum (V/R) and in phase with the voltage (pf = 1).
\( 2\pi f_rL = \dfrac{1}{2\pi f_rC} \Rightarrow f_r = \dfrac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}} \).
| Parameter | Series resonance (R-L-C series) | Parallel resonance (coil R-L ∥ C) |
|---|---|---|
| Condition | XL = XC | Reactive (susceptive) component of current = 0, i.e. IL sin φL = IC |
| Resonant frequency | \( f_r = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}} \) | \( f_r = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}-\frac{R^2}{L^2}} \) |
| Impedance at resonance | Minimum, Z = R | Maximum, ZD = L/(CR) (dynamic impedance) |
| Current at resonance | Maximum, I = V/R | Minimum, I = V/ZD = VCR/L |
| Power factor | Unity | Unity |
| Magnification | Voltage magnification: VL = VC = QV | Current magnification: IC ≈ QI |
| Q factor | \( Q = \frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} \) | \( Q = \frac{\omega_rL}{R} \) |
| Called | Acceptor circuit | Rejector circuit |
| Below fr / above fr | Capacitive / inductive | Inductive / capacitive |
| Use | Tuning (radio receivers), filters that pass a frequency | Tank circuits in oscillators, filters that reject a frequency |
