A practical parallel resonant circuit consists of a coil (L=100, H, series resistance 10, ) in parallel with a 100 pF capacitor. Using the high-Q approximation, find the impedance at resonance.

  1. 10 k
  2. 100 k
  3. 15.9 k
  4. 200 k

Answer

B. 100 k

Solution

At resonance (high Q) Zr=L/RC= 100×10-6(10)(100×10-12)=100 k .
