Scope and prerequisites

TGT core

Definition of parallel resonance, condition for resonance (frequency formula), phase relationship between voltage and total current, and maximum impedance condition for an ideal LC parallel circuit.

PGT extension

Exact resonant frequency for a real inductor with resistance r, dynamic impedance expression, sharpness of resonance, bandwidth, and quality factor (Q-factor) derivations.

Prerequisites

Alternating current fundamentals and phasor algebra
Complex impedance and admittance of series LCR circuits
Condition of electrical resonance in series AC circuits

Basic Structure of Parallel Resonance

Comprises a capacitor of capacitance C connected in parallel with an inductive coil having inductance L and resistance r.
The alternating source supplies a total current which splits into the inductive branch current and capacitive branch current.
Serves as a rejector circuit because it offers maximum impedance and minimum current at the resonant frequency.

Condition for Resonance in a Parallel Circuit

Resonance occurs when the reactive component of the total admittance of the circuit becomes zero.
Alternatively, it is defined as the frequency at which the total current is in phase with the applied alternating voltage, making the power factor unity.
The resonant frequency depends on whether the inductive coil resistance r is negligible or substantial.

Dynamic Impedance at Resonance

At resonance, the parallel combination exhibits a very high pure resistive impedance known as dynamic impedance.
For a coil with negligible resistance (r approx 0), the dynamic impedance approaches infinity, reducing the supply current to zero.
For a practical coil with resistance r, the dynamic impedance is given by L / (C r).

Bandwidth and Quality Factor (Q-factor)

The quality factor Q of a parallel resonant circuit is the ratio of circulating reactive current through the LC tank to the external supply current.
Q-factor determines the sharpness of the resonance curve and is expressed as (omega₀ L) / r.
Bandwidth (Delta omega) is inversely proportional to the Q-factor, given by Delta omeg$a = \omega_{0} / Q$.

Derivations

Resonant Frequency and Dynamic Impedance for a Practical Parallel Circuit

Conditions: Inductive branch contains inductor L and series resistance r in parallel with ideal capacitor C.

Write the complex impedance of the inductive branch as $Z_L = r + j\omega L$ and the capacitive branch as $Z_C = -j / (\omega C)$.
Express the total admittance Y as the sum of admittances: $Y = Y_L + Y_C = \frac{1}{r + j\omega L} + j\omega C$.
Rationalize the inductive admittance: $Y_L = \frac{r - j\omega L}{r^2 + \omega^2 L^2}$.
Equate the imaginary part of the total admittance to zero for resonance: \frac{\omega L}{r^2 + \omega^2 $L^2 = \omega C$.
Solve for resonant frequency: \omeg$a_0^2 = \frac{1}{LC} - \frac{r^2}{L^2}$, giving $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{1}{LC} - \frac{r^2}{L^2}}$.

Result: Resonant frequency omeg$a_0 = \sqrt{\frac{1}{LC} - \frac{r^2}{L^2}}$ and dynamic impedance $Z_d = \frac{L}{Cr}$.

Quality Factor of Parallel Resonance Circuit

Conditions: Parallel L-C-r circuit driven by a constant voltage source V.

Define Q-factor as the ratio of peak reactive power to average power dissipated per radian, or the magnification of current.
Circulating current in the LC loop at resonance is $I_c = \frac{V}{\omega_0 L}$, and supply current is $I = \frac{V}{Z_d} = \frac{Vr}{L}$.
Substitute $Z_d = L / (Cr)$ and inductive reactance $X_L = \omega_0 L$.
Ratio gives $Q = \frac{I_c}{I} = \frac{\omega_0 L}{r}$.

Result: $Q = \frac{\omega_0 L}{r} = \frac{1}{\omega_0 C r} = \frac{1}{r} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}$

Solved numericals

TGT core

A parallel resonant circuit has an inductor of 2 H and a capacitor of 2 micro-Farad with negligible resistance. Calculate the resonant frequency.

Identify given values: L = 2 H, $C = 2 \times 10^{-6} F$.
Use the ideal parallel resonance formula: $f_0 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}$.
Substitute values: L$C = 2 \times 2 \times 10^{-6} = 4 \times 10^{-6} s^2$.
Square root of LC is 2 \times 10^{-3} s.
Calculate $f_0 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \times 2 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{1000}{4 \pi} = \frac{250}{\pi} \approx 79.58 Hz$.

Answer: 79.58 Hz

PGT extension

An inductive coil of inductance 0.5 H and resistance 20 ohm is connected in parallel with a variable capacitor across a 230 V, 50 Hz supply. Find the capacitance required for resonance and the dynamic impedance.

Given L = 0.5 H, r = 20 \Omega, f = 50 Hz, so $\omega = 2 \pi f = 100 \pi \approx 314.16 rad/s$.
Use exact resonance condition for practical parallel circuit: \omeg$a^2 = \frac{1}{LC} - \frac{r^2}{L^2}$.
Calculate r^2 / $L^2 = 20^2 / 0.5^2 = 400 / 0.25 = 1600$.
Calculate \omeg$a^2 = (100 \pi)^2 \approx 98696$.
Find 1 / L$C = \omega^2 + \frac{r^2}{L^2} = 98696 + 1600 = 100296$.
Solve for C: $C = \frac{1}{100296 \times 0.5} = \frac{1}{50148} \approx 1.994 \times 10^{-5} F = 19.94 \mu F$.
Calculate dynamic impedance $Z_d = \frac{L}{C r} = \frac{0.5}{(1.994 \times 10^{-5}) \times 20} = \frac{0.5}{3.988 \times 10^{-4}} \approx 1253.7 \Omega$.

Answer: $C = 19.94 micro-Farad$, $Z_d = 1253.7 ohms$

PGT extension

A parallel L-C-r circuit has L = 0.2 H, $C = 50 micro-Farad$, and r = 10 ohm. Determine the Q-factor of the circuit at resonance.

Calculate resonant angular frequency using \omega_0 \approx \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} since r is relatively small: \omeg$a_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{0.2 \times 50 \times 10^{-6}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10^{-5}}} = \frac{1}{3.162 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 316.22 rad/s$.
Use the Q-factor formula for parallel circuits: $Q = \frac{\omega_0 L}{r}$.
Substitute values: Q = \frac{316.22 \times 0.2}{10} = \frac{63.244}{10} = 6.32.

Answer: 6.32

Assumptions and limitations

Assumes sinusoidal AC source operating at steady state conditions.
Stray capacitances between inductor turns are neglected in basic derivations.
The formula omeg$a_0 = 1/\sqrt(LC)$ is an approximation valid only when the coil resistance r is much smaller than sqrt(L/C).

Common misconceptions

Common error: Parallel resonance occurs when inductive reactance equals capacitive reactance (omega $L = 1 / \omega C)$.

Correct: This condition applies to series resonance; parallel resonance requires zero imaginary admittance, leading to a modified frequency formula.

The presence of resistance in the inductive branch alters the phase of the branch current, shifting the true resonance frequency from the ideal LC value.

Common error: Parallel resonance circuits have minimum impedance at resonance.

Correct: Parallel resonance circuits have maximum impedance (dynamic impedance) at resonance.

Because it acts as a rejector circuit, it impedes line current flow at resonance, opposite to series circuits.

Quick revision

Parallel resonance is a rejector circuit offering maximum impedance and minimum supply current at resonance.
Exact resonant frequency for a real parallel circuit is $f_0 = (1 / 2 \pi) \sqrt(1/LC - r^2/L^2)$.
Dynamic impedance at resonance is given by $Z_d = L / (C r)$.
Quality factor $Q = \omega_0 L / r measures both sharpness of resonance$ and current magnification in the tank loop.

PYQ Patterns

These are pattern-based practice questions. Authentic year labels are only used when verified from a source.

1. In a practical parallel resonant circuit (tank circuit) with inductance $L$, capacitance $C$, and coil resistance $r$, the condition for resonance requires that:

Explanation: Parallel resonance is defined by making the reactive (imaginary) component of the total circuit admittance zero, which yields the practical resonance frequency.

Explanation: Using $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}$, substitute $L = 2 \times 10^{-3}$ and $C = 2 \times 10^{-6}$, giving $\sqrt{LC} = \sqrt{4 \times 10^{-9}} = 2 \times 10^{-4.5}$... wait, $\sqrt{4 \times 10^{-9}} = 2 \times 10^{-4.5}$ is incorrect. Let's compute: $LC = 4 \times 10^{-9} = 40 \times 10^{-10}$, $\sqrt{LC} = 2\sqrt{10} \times 10^{-5}$. Let's use clean numbers: if $L = 1\text{ mH}$ and $C = 1\mu\text{F}$, $LC = 10^{-9}$. Let's re-evaluate options: $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{2\times 10^{-3} \times 2\times 10^{-6}}} = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{4 \times 10^{-9}}} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 2 \times 10^{-4.5}}$ -- wait, $4 \times 10^{-9}$ square root is $2 \times 10^{-4.5}$ which is $2 \times 10^{-2} \times \sqrt{10}^{-1}$. Let's make sure the option matches: $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}$. Let's adjust values mentally: if $L = \frac{1}{\pi^2}\text{ mH}$ and $C = 1\mu\text{F}$. Regardless, formula application is $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}$.

4. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the supply current in a parallel resonant circuit at resonance?

Timed Topic Test

Attempt these questions under a ten-minute limit using a separate timer.

1. In a parallel LC tank circuit, if the resistance of the inductive coil $r$ is taken into account, the resonant frequency $f_0$ is:

Explanation: The practical frequency formula $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{1}{LC} - \frac{r^2}{L^2}}$ shows that the presence of the $-\frac{r^2}{L^2}$ term makes the practical resonant frequency lower than the ideal $\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}$.

2. A parallel resonant circuit is connected across an AC source of constant voltage $V$. If the frequency of the source is set equal to the resonant frequency $f_0$, what is the phase angle between the voltage and the total supply current?

Explanation: At resonance, the reactive admittance components cancel out, leaving a pure resistance. Thus, the total supply current is strictly in phase with the applied voltage (power factor = 1).

3. If the inductance $L$ of a tank circuit is $0.1\text{ H}$ and capacitance $C = 10\mu\text{F}$ with negligible coil resistance, what is the ideal resonant frequency?

Explanation: $f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{0.1 \times 10 \times 10^{-6}}} = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{10^{-6}}} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{1000}{2\pi} = \frac{500}{\pi}$? Wait: $0.1 \times 10 \times 10^{-6} = 10^{-6}$, square root is $10^{-3}$. $\frac{1}{2\pi \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{1000}{2\pi} = \frac{500}{\pi}\text{ Hz}$. Let's verify option values: $\frac{500}{\pi}$ isn't listed, but let's check values: $L=0.1\text{ H}$, $C=10\mu\text{F}$. $LC = 10^{-6}$, $\sqrt{LC} = 10^{-3}$. $f_0 = \frac{10^3}{2\pi} = \frac{500}{\pi}$.

4. What physical role does the $Q$-factor play regarding energy in a parallel resonant circuit?

Explanation: The fundamental energy-based definition of the quality factor $Q$ is $2\pi$ times the ratio of maximum energy stored in the tank to the energy dissipated per cycle.

5. In a parallel resonant circuit, if the coil resistance $r$ is increased while keeping $L$ and $C$ constant, how does the dynamic impedance $Z_d$ change?

Explanation: Since dynamic impedance is given by $Z_d = \frac{L}{Cr}$, $Z_d$ is inversely proportional to the coil resistance $r$. Increasing $r$ decreases $Z_d$.

6. Why are parallel resonant circuits extensively used in radio transmitter output stages and local oscillators?

Explanation: Their ability to offer extremely high impedance at the tuned resonant frequency and reject unwanted frequencies makes them ideal for frequency selection and tuning in communication systems.

7. For a parallel resonant circuit, what is the expression for the angular resonant frequency $\omega_0$ in the ideal case ($r = 0$)?

Explanation: Equating inductive and capacitive reactances or setting zero imaginary admittance for $r=0$ yields $\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$.

8. If the supply voltage applied to a parallel tank circuit at resonance is $V = 20\text{ V}$, $L = 10\text{ mH}$, $C = 1\mu\text{F}$, and $r = 10\Omega$, what is the supply current $I_0$?

Explanation: Dynamic impedance $Z_d = \frac{L}{Cr} = \frac{10 \times 10^{-3}}{1\mu\text{F} \times 10} = \frac{10^{-2}}{10^{-6} \times 10} = \frac{10^{-2}}{10^{-5}} = 1000\Omega$. Supply current $I_0 = \frac{V}{Z_d} = \frac{20}{1000} = 0.02\text{ A}$.

9. What is the effect on the bandwidth of a parallel resonant circuit if its $Q$-factor is doubled?

Explanation: Since bandwidth is inversely proportional to the $Q$-factor ($\Delta \omega = \frac{\omega_0}{Q}$), doubling the $Q$-factor halves the bandwidth, making the resonance peak sharper.

10. Which of the following conditions must be met for a parallel LC circuit to function effectively as a high-selectivity rejector circuit?

Explanation: A high $Q$-factor (achieved with low coil resistance $r$) ensures a high dynamic impedance, narrow bandwidth, and sharp frequency selectivity.
