An ideal sinusoidal voltage source drives a series branch and a separate resistor in parallel. At the series resonance, the reactive stored energy is , while both resistors together dissipate per cycle. Counting only the series resistor overestimates the stored-energy-to-dissipation ratio by a factor of two.
