Resonance in an electrical circuit

  • Electrical resonance is defined as the condition when the magnitude of capacitive reactance(XC) becomes equal to that of inductive reactance(XL). As a result of resonance, maximum current flows through the RLC circuit.
  • Parallel resonance is a resonance condition that usually occurs in parallel circuits, where the voltage becomes a maximum for a given current. Being a parallel resonance means the impedance is high and the inrush surge current is relatively low compared to a simple capacitor.
