Section 9-3 Parallel Resonance

When a parallel RLC circuit is at resonance, XL = XC.

When XL = XC in a parallel circuit, VT/XL = VT/XC or, in other words the reactive currents are equal.

When IC = IL, this equation reuces to IT = IR:

When IC = IL, this equation reduces to  IT = �

IR2 + (IC � IL)2

The reactdive impedence is infinite.
