Series Resonance vs. Parallel Resonance

The main difference between Series Resonance and Parallel Resonance is that Series Resonance happens when the smallest impedance formed by the arrangement of components, whereas Parallel Resonance happens when the largest impedance formed by the arrangement of components.

Key Differences

The resonance circuit in series is also called an acceptor circuit; on the flip side, the resonance circuit in parallel is also called as the rejector circuit.
A series RLC circuit consists of the lowest impedance at the resonant frequency; on the other hand, a parallel RLC circuit consists of extreme impedance at the resonant frequency.
The circuit of series resonance comes about when the smallest impedance formed by the organization of components in a circuit, whereas a parallel resonance circuit transpires when the biggest impedance formed by the prearrangement of components.
The series resonance circuit amplifies the voltage present in the circuit; on the contrary, the parallel resonance circuit usually amplifies the current existing in the circuit.

What is Series Resonance?

The resonance which is present in a series of the circuit having a resistor of the resistance (R), a conductance (C), and the inductance (L) is known as series resonance. In series resonance, the capacitor contains a capacitive reactance (XC), which is given by. The inductor in series resonance usually contains an inductive reactance (X­L) given by. We know that the amount of the entire impedance could be assumed by.

The flow of current in-circuit is written as. In the AC circuit, if its frequency could be changed, then the values of both XC and X­L could be changed, and the total impedance present in the circuit will also be changed after changing these values of capacitive reactance and inductive reactance. The size of the flowing current in the circuit will also be changed by these variations.

When the equation of impedance took into consideration, the equation of both XC and X­L shows that the impedance Z0 =R of series resonance is minimum. At this rate, the value of current flowing in the series RLC circuit will be maximum.

The resonant frequency in the series resonance circuit is given as 1/(2*π*(LC)0.5). At the reverberating rate, which means that the. The series resonance circuit contains the maximum admittance at resonance condition. In a series resonance circuit, the Q-factor is given as Ѡ0 L/R.

Characteristics of Series Resonance

  • Have the smallest impedance
  • Have extreme flowing current in the circuit
  • Current and voltage turn into in phase when cos(φ) = 1
  • Circuit current turn into proportional to circuit resistance, i.e., I ~ 1/R

Applications of Series Resonance

  • For Tuning purpose
  • Used as Oscillator Circuit
  • Used as a Voltage Amplifier
  • Used in the communication system for signal processing
  • Used as High-frequency filter circuit

What is Parallel Resonance?

The resonance which is present in parallel of the circuit having an inductance (L), resistor of the resistance (R), a conductance (C), and the is known as parallel resonance. Subsequently, impedances, as they do in series circuits, do not sum up exactly in parallel circuits, so a measurement called admittance (Y) is used to designate parallel resonance circuits. The parallel resonance circuit contains the minimum admittance at resonance condition.

The admittance is present in reciprocal of the impedance in the parallel series circuit given as Y = 1/Z. The conductance G in parallel resonance is also given in reciprocal of the resistance given as G = 1/R.

The capacitive susceptance(BC) is written as. The inductive susceptance (BL) is usually written as. When both capacitive susceptance and inductive susceptance becomes equal BC = BL, then resonance occurs in parallel RLC circuits. A parallel RLC circuit contains maximum impedance at the resonant frequency but contains a minimum value of current ta resonance.

Characteristics of Parallel Resonance

  • Have extreme impedance
  • Smallest flowing current in the circuit
  • Voltage and current become in a phase when cos(φ) = 1
  • The current of circuit rest on circuit impedance, Z = L/C or I ~ -(1/R)
