Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

In a resonant parallel circuit, current is

  • zero.
  • minimum.
  • maximum.

Explanation

At resonance in a parallel LC circuit the impedance reaches its maximum, so the current drawn from the supply falls to a minimum. The inductive and capacitive branch currents are large and nearly cancel, leaving only a small line current to supply the circuit losses.

funcaul asking:

Please can anyone explain

At resonance in a PARALLEL circuit, current is minimum (would be zero if it were not for the resistance in the circuit).
