2. Resonance In Electric Circuits
Any passive electric circuit will resonate if it
has an inductor and capacitor.
Resonance is characterized by the input
voltage and currentbeing in phase. The driving
point impedance (or admittance) is completely
real when this condition exists.
In this presentation we will consider (a) series
resonance, and (b) parallel resonance.
3. Series Resonance

This is an important equation to remember. It
applies to both series And parallel resonant
circuits.

The bandwidth of the series resonant circuit is given
by;
We define the Q (quality factor) of the circuit as;
Using Q, we can write the bandwidth as;

A series RLC resonant circuit has a resonant
frequency admittance of 2x10-2 S(mohs). The Q
of the circuit is 50, and the resonant frequency
is10,000 rad/sec. Calculate the values of R, L,
and C. Find the half-power frequencies and the
bandwidth.
