In a parallel LC circuit, if the input signal frequency is increased above resonant frequency then _______________?

Correct answer: A. XL increases and XC decreases

  • A. XL increases and XC decreases
  • B. XL decreases and XC increases
  • C. Both XL and XC increase
  • D. Both XL and XC decrease

Explanation

Inductive reactance is Xₗ = 2πfL, so it increases with frequency, while capacitive reactance Xc = 1/(2πfC) decreases. Thus, above resonance, Xₗ increases and Xc decreases.
