RLC Circuit
Resonance in an RLC Circuit is a special condition for parallel and series
RLC circuits, when capacitive reactance and inductive reactance have the
same magnitude and cancel each other. This only happens at some
frequency named resonance frequency (f0).

Selectivity and Q of a Circuit
Resonant circuits are used to respond selectively to signals of a given frequency while
discriminating against signals of different frequencies. If the response of the circuit is
more narrowly peaked around the chosen frequency, we say that the circuit has
higher "selectivity". A "quality factor" Q, is a measure of that selectivity, and we speak
of a circuit having a "high Q" if it is more narrowly selective.

where Δω is the width of
the resonant power curve
at half maximum.
Expression for Quality Factor - Q
Tuning of a Radio Receiver
An example of the application of resonant circuits is the
selection of AM radio stations by the radio receiver. The
selectivity of the tuning must be high enough to
discriminate strongly against stations above and below in
carrier frequency, but not so high as to discriminate
against the "sidebands" created by the imposition of the
signal by amplitude modulation.
The selectivity of a circuit is dependent
upon the amount of resistance in the
circuit. The smaller the resistance, the
higher the "Q" for given values of L and
C.
Resonance in Parallel RLC circuit
The resonant frequency can be defined in three different ways, which
converge on the same expression as the series resonant frequency if the
resistance of the circuit is small.
Parallel RLC circuit – Resonate frequency
Finding the impedance of a parallel RLC circuit is considerably more difficult than finding the series
RLC impedance. This is because each branch has a phase angle and they cannot be combined in a
simple way. The impedance of the parallel branches combine in the same way that parallel resistors
combine:
But although the branch impedance magnitudes can be
calculated from
they cannot be directly combined as suggested by the expression above
because they are different in phase - like vectors in different directions
cannot be added directly. This dilemma is most easily solved by the
complex impedance method.
By setting the = 0, the resonant frequency can be calculated.
Note that for small values of the resistances, this approaches the series
resonant frequency
Characteristics of parallel resonant circuit
• Maximum impedance
• Minimum circuit current
• cos(φ) = 1, hence voltage and current becomes in phase
• Circuit current depends on circuit impedance, 𝑍 =
