AC2 Fundamentals Unit 3 – Parallel Resonance
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
line current - the combined total current drawn by the inductor, capacitor, and resistor in a
parallel resonant RLC circuit.
circulating current - the tank circuit current that flows in the inductor and capacitor as they
exchange energy.
tank circuit - a parallel resonant LC circuit that stores energy in the form of an electric field in
the capacitor and a magnetic field in the inductor.
