The purpose of a parallel circuit resonance is to magnify

A. Current

B. Voltage

C. Power

D. Frequency

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The purpose of a parallel circuit resonance is to magnify voltage. In a parallel resonance circuit, the impedance of the circuit becomes purely resistive at the resonant frequency. This means that the reactive components, such as inductors and capacitors, cancel each other out, resulting in a circuit with minimal impedance.

At resonance, the voltage across the circuit is primarily determined by the resistance, and it reaches its maximum value. This phenomenon is exploited in various applications, such as in radio tuning circuits and inductor-capacitor (LC) tank circuits used in electronic devices. Parallel resonance allows for efficient transfer and magnification of voltage at a specific resonant frequency.

    Option A (Current) is right Answer

    in series resonance circuits the Q-factor gives the voltage magnification of the circuit, whereas in a parallel circuit it gives the current magnification.
