A parallel AC. circuit in resonance will__________?

Correct answer: B. have a high impedance

  • A. have a high voltage developed across each inductive and capacitive section
  • B. have a high impedance
  • C. act like a resistor of low value
  • D. have current in each section equal to the line current

Explanation

At parallel resonance, inductive and capacitive branch currents largely cancel at the supply, so the circuit presents a high impedance. Large circulating currents may still flow within the individual branches.
