Resonance
Resonanceis the tendency of a system to oscillate at maximum 
amplitude at a certain frequency known as the resonant 
frequency. 
The possibility of resonance always exists wherever there is 
periodic motion -movement that is repeated at regular 
intervals.
The resonant system may be electrical, mechanical, hydraulic , 
acoustic or some other kind.
Electrical resonanceoccurs in an electric circuitat a 
particularfrequencywhen the imaginary parts ofimpedances 
of circuit elements cancel each other. 
At resonance, the voltage and current at the circuit input 
terminals are in phase.
Resonant circuits can generate higher voltages and currents 
than the input voltage or current.

RLC circuits posses the distinctive ability to provide natural 
responses of the oscillatory type. The energy flows back and 
forth between the capacitance and the inductance.

The amount of magnification depends on the quality factor.
For example if

It is interesting to note that the smaller the resistance 
in a 
series RLC circuit, the higher the value of 
and hence greater 
amount of voltage rise at resonance.
In the limit 
, we would have 
and 
this would result in an infinite voltage rise.
The quality factor is also a measure of frequency selectivity. 
Thus, we say that a circuit with a high 
has a high selectivity, 
whereas a low 
circuit has low selectivity.

Practical Resonant Circuit
The parallelRLC configuration is known as tuned circuit, such as 
tuned oscillators and tuned amplifiers in radio communications.
Of the three components making up an RLC circuit, the inductor 
is the least ideal because of the winding resistance (
).
We wish to investigate the impact of 
upon the resonance 
frequency.
For an ideal inductor 
For non ideal inductor, we have

When a radio or TV receivers is tuned to a particular station or a 
channel, it is set to operate at the resonant frequency of that 
station.
A parallel circuit has high impedance at its resonant frequency. 
Therefore it attenuates signals at all frequencies except the 
resonant frequency.
Varying the capacitance of the tuned circuit, will change the 
resonant frequency. Generally inductance is kept constant and 
the capacitor value is changed as we select different stations or 
channels.
