Resonance Frequency of A Rejector Circuit

This document discusses the resonance frequency of a rejector circuit. It consists of a parallel RLC circuit where the resistor, inductor, and capacitor are connected in parallel and supplied with a voltage. The circuit acts as a "rejector" because at its resonant frequency, the impedance is at its maximum value and the current is minimized. Resonance occurs when the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal, causing the total impedance to equal the resistance. Therefore, at resonance the circuit has high resistance and low current flow.

 Theory:
A RLC circuit in which resistor, inductor and capacitor are connected in parallel to each
other. This parallel combination is supplied by voltage supply, VS. This parallel RLC circuit is
exactly opposite to series RLC circuit. in parallel circuit, the voltage across each element remains
the same and the current gets divided in each component depending upon the impedance of each
component. That is why parallel RLC circuit is said to have dual relationship with series RLC
circuit.

  When inductive reactance becomes equal to the capacitive reactance at certain


frequency called resonant frequency, the total impedance of the circuit Z becomes equal to R
(Z=R).
Resonance occurs when XL = XC. then:
 Parallel LCR resonant circuit is also known as rejector circuit because at resonance the
impedance of the circuit is at its maximum thereby suppressing or rejecting the current whose
frequency is equal to its resonance frequency. At resonance, impedance tends to infinity and
current tends to zero
Thus at resonance, the impedance of the parallel circuit is at its maximum value and equal
to the resistance of the circuit creating a circuit condition of high resistance and low current.
Also at resonance, as the impedance of the circuit is now that of resistance only, the total circuit
current, I will be “in-phase” with the supply voltage, VS.
