Like series circuits, parallel RLC circuits (containing inductors and capacitors) are second-order with a resonant frequency. Both are affected by frequency changes. However in parallel resonance, it is the current through the circuit that reaches a minimum at resonance, not the impedance. The focus here is, how currents in each branch of the parallel LC […]

Calculating Parallel RLC Circuit
In contrast to the series circuit we examined in the previous tutorial, the Parallel RLC Circuit has the opposite characteristics. However, some of the concepts and equations we learned before are still relevant. To simplify the mathematical analysis of parallel RLC circuits, this tutorial assumes that the components are pure, meaning that they have no […]
