4.1 UNDERSTAND
RESONANCE IN SERIES AND
PARALLEL CIRCUITS

4.1.1 EXPLAIN THE RESONANCE

PHENOMENON AND ITS FUNCTIONS

Resonance is a condition in RLC circuit in which the capacitive and

inductive reactance are equal in magnitude, thereby resulting in a
purely resistive impedance.
Z = R + j(

) ; note:

=0

XL=XC

SERIES RESONANCE:

Current will be maximum & offering minimum

impedance.

PARALLEL RESONANCE:

Current will be minimum & offering maximum

impedance.

RESONANCE FUNCTIONS:

Resonance circuit serves as stable frequency

The frequency set by the tank
source.
circuit is solely dependent
upon the value of L & C

Resonance circuit serves as filter.

Acting as a short
of frequency
filter to strain
certain
frequencies out
of a mix of
others

4.1.2 EXPLAIN THE EFFECT OF CHANGING

THE FREQUENCY TO
A) RLC SERIES CIRCUIT:

A series RLC circuits reactance changes as

you change the voltage sources frequency.
Its total impedance also changes.

At low frequencies, Xc > XL and the circuit is

primarily capacitive.
At high frequencies, XL > Xc and the circuit is
primarily inductive.

10

B) RLC PARALLEL CIRCUIT:

Reactance change as you change the voltage

sources frequency.
At low frequencies, XL < Xc and the circuit is
primarily inductive.
At high frequencies, Xc< XL and the circuit is
primarily capacitive.

11

4.1.3 DRAW THE GRAPH OF IMPEDANCE VS

FREQUENCY
SERIES:

A series RLC circuit contains both inductive reactance (X L) and

capacitive reactance (Xc).
Since XL and Xc have opposite phase angles, they tend to cancel
each other out and the circuits total reactance is smaller that
either individual reactance:
XT < XL & XT < Xc
12

PARALLEL:

The smaller reactance dominates, since a smaller

reactance results in a larger branch current.

Q factor:
Q is the ratio of power stored to power dissipated in the circuit
reactance and resistance.
Q is the ratio of its resonant frequency to its bandwidth.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT:
(a) Quality factor: the ratio of the circulating branch currents to the supply
current .

17

(b)

Frequency bandwidth, B = f2 f1:

The difference between the two half-power frequencies.

Bandwidth, f is measured between the 70.7% amplitude points of

series resonant circuit.

BW = fc/Q
Where:
fc = resonant frquency
Q = quality factor

A HIGH Q RESONANT CIRCUIT HAS A NARROW BANDWIDTH AS

COMPARED TO A LOW Q
20

A LOW Q DUE TO A HIGH RESISTANCE IN SERIES WITH THE

INDUCTOR PRODUCES A LOW PEAK ON A BROAD RESPONSE
CURVE FOR A PARALLEL RESONANT CIRCUIT

Parallel resonant response varies with Q.

21

EXAMPLE:

In Figure above, the 100% current point is 50 mA. The 70.7% level is 0707(50
mA)=35.4 mA.

The upper and lower band edges read from the curve are 291 Hz for fl and 355 Hz
for fh. The bandwidth is 64 Hz, and the half power points are 32 Hz of the center
resonant frequency
BW = f = fh-fl = 355-291 = 64
fl = fc - f/2 = 323-32 = 291
fh = fc + f/2 = 323+32 = 355
Since BW = fc/Q:
Q = fc/BW = (323 Hz)/(64 Hz) = 5

(c) The dissipation factor, D:

The ratio of the power loss in a dielectric material to the total

power transmitted through the dielectric.

SUMMARY

For resonance to occur in any circuit it must have at least

one inductor and one capacitor.

Resonance is the result of oscillations in a circuit as stored

energy is passed from the inductor to the capacitor.

Resonance occurs when XL=XC and the imaginary part of the

transfer function is zero.

At resonance the impedance of the circuit is equal to the

resistance value as Z=R.
