The frequency at which the circuit becomes purely resistive is called
the resonance frequency
5. Properties of resonant circuits
At resonance the impedance/admittance is minimal
Current through the serial circuit/
voltage across the parallel circuit can
become very large (if resistance is small)

we will focus on serial circuits
6. Properties of resonant circuits
At resonance the power factor is unity

COMMON FILTERS
Low-pass filter
High-pass filter
Band-pass filter
Band-reject filter
We focus first on
PASSIVE filters

can produce low-pass, high-pass or band-pass or band-
reject filters
