At resonance, the LC parallel resonant circuit
- Ahas zero impedance.
- Correct answerBhas a very high impedance.
- Chas a very high cureent.
- Dhas a very low resistance.
Solution
For a parallel LC circuit, the admittance is given by $Y = \dfrac{1}{j \omega L} + j \omega C = j \left( \omega C - \dfrac{1}{\omega L} \right)$.
At resonance, the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance, which means $\omega C = \dfrac{1}{\omega L}$.
Substituting this into the admittance equation gives $Y = 0$.
Since impedance $Z = \dfrac{1}{Y}$, the impedance approaches infinity as the admittance approaches zero.
Therefore, at resonance, an LC parallel resonant circuit has a very high impedance.
Answer: has a very high impedance.
