Electric circuits Unit 4

Resonance:    Resonance is a phenomenon which occurs in ac circuits containing all the three elements R,L,C. The radio or television receiver is tuned to this resonant frequency to obtain signals from that particular station.
            The resonant condition in ac circuits may be achieved by varying the frequency of the supply, keeping the network elements constant or by varying L or C, keeping the frequency constant, there are two types of resonant circuits.
    1) Series resonant circuit
     2)   Parallel resonant circuit.
The frequency response curve or the resonant curve is also known as the selectivity curve, because a resonant circuit is always adjusted to select a band of frequencies lying between f1&f2, . f1&f2,are called as half power frequencies.

The smaller the band width, higher the selectivity or a circuit having a low value of bandwidth is said to be highly selective.
The phenomenon of parallel resonance is of great practical importance because it form the basis of tuned circuits in electronics.
Parallel resonance:    The basic condition of resonance i.e, power factor of the entire circuit being unity remains the same for parallel circuits also. Thus resonance will occur in a parallel circuit,When the power factor of the entire circuit becomes unity.
