Difference between Series resonance and Parallel resonance
When the reactance of an inductor balances the reactance of a capacitor at some given frequency then resonance occure. The electrical resonance occurs in a circuit at a particular resonant frequency when the impedances of the circuit elements cancel each other. The basic difference between resonance in series and parallel is that series resonance occure when the smallest impedance is formed by the arrangement of components and parallel resonance occure when the largest impedance formed by the arrangement of components. The series of resistor, inductor and capacitor circuit contains the minimum impedance at the resonant frequency. In the parallel resonance a parallel resistor, inductor and capacitor circuit contains maximum impedance at the resonant frequency. There are many applications of series resonance and parallel resonance circuit in the network theory of electronics. The difference between series resonance circuit and parallel resonance circuit is as follows.
Series Resonance | Parallel Resonance |
1) The series of resistor, inductor and capacitor circuit contains the minimum impedance at the resonant frequency.
2) The series resonance circuit is a accepter circuit. 3) At the resonance the impedance is minimum equal to the resistance in the circuit. 4) At the resonance the current is maximum in the series resonance circuit. 5) The series resonance circuit magnifies the voltage. |
1) The parallel resistor, inductor and capacitor circuit contains maximum impedance at the resonant frequency.
2) The parallel resonance circuit is rejector circuit. 3) At resonance the impedance is maximum nearly equal to infinity. 4) At the resonance the current is minimum in the parallel resonance circuit. 5) The parallel resonance circuit magnifies the current. |
