The original diagram has a series circuit containing and , in parallel with ; it is not three separate parallel components. The electrical admittance is thereforeFor , voltage and current are in phase when the imaginary part of vanishes. Excluding the zero-frequency solution, division by givesA nonzero lossy parallel coil resonance exists only if . With , and ,For zero electrical resistance, the ideal parallel inductor-capacitor cancellation occurs atThe fractional reduction relative to the zero-resistance coil isAt exactly and , , so finite applied voltage draws zero net current in the ideal model. The quoted frequency is the limiting parallel-resonance value; the phase of an exactly zero current is undefined.
Let be the total parallel capacitance, since capacitors in a parallel circuit have additive capacitances. Put into the lossy parallel coil resonance condition:The additional capacitance is thereforeThis is the added capacitance, rather than the new total, and the conversion from frequency to angular frequency is essential.
