WHAT IS PARALLEL RESONANCE?

Parallel resonance is a resonance condition that usually occurs in parallel resonant circuits,
where the voltage becomes a maximum for a given current. Being a parallel resonance means the
impedance is high and inrush surge current relatively low compared to a simple capacitor.

 PARALLEL RESONANCE

A tank circuit is a parallel combination of L and C that is used in filter networks to either select or
reject AC frequencies. Consider ther Parallel RLC Circuit below.
 A parallel circuit containing a resistance- R, an inductance- L and a capacitance- C will produce
a parallel resonance circuit when the resultant current through the parallel combination is in a
phase with the supply voltage.
 The corresponding instantaneous value of IL and IC will always be equal and opposite.
 Resonance takes place when VL = -VC and this situation occurs when two reactances are equal,
XL = XC.
 At resonance, the impedance of the parallel circuit is at its maximus value and equal to the resistance of the
circuits.
Also at resonance, “I” will be “in-phase” with the supply voltage, VS.
 Susceptance at Resonance

• From above, the inductive susceptance, BL is inversely proportional to the frequency as represented by the
hyperbolic curve. The capacitive susceptance, BC is directly proportional to the frequency and is therefore
represented by a straight line. The final curve shows the plot of total susceptance of the parallel resonance
circuit versus the frequency and is the difference between the two susceptance’s.
• Then we can see that at the resonant frequency point were it crosses the horizontal axis the total circuit
susceptance is zero. Below the resonant frequency point, the inductive susceptance dominates the circuit
producing a “lagging” power factor, whereas above the resonant frequency point the capacitive susceptance
dominates producing a “leading” power factor.
PHASE ANGLE
 The phase angle between the voltage and current of a parallel resonance circuit is zero at the
resonant frequency point when V, I and VR are all in phase with each other.

QUALITY FACTOR, (Q)

 The Q-factor of a parallel resonance circuit is the inverse of the expression for the Q-factor of the
series circuit.
Applications of Resonance
The applications of resonant effects can be summarized as follows:
1. Most common application of resonance is tuning i.e, as an Oscillator circuit.
2. It is used in Radio tuning.
3. A resonant circuit is used as filters.
4. A realistic parallel resonant circuit is used as current rejector.
5. A parallel resonant Circuit is used as load impedance in output circuits of RF amplifiers.
6. A parallel resonant circuit can be used in induction heating.
Radio Tuning
When we tune a radio to a particular station, the LC circuits are set at a resonance for that particular carrier
frequency.
Filters

 A filter is a circuit which allows a specific range of frequencies to pass

through it, while blocking the rest. There are many different kinds of filters
like-
i. Low Pass Filter
ii. High Pass Filter
iii. Band Pass Filter
iv. Band Stop Filter
