For the series-fed parallel LC voltage response, use phasors with time dependence . The parallel branch has impedance , where . ThereforeAt the ideal parallel resonance its input impedance diverges. The input-current phase changes sign on crossing this pole; expressions there are interpreted by limits.
The capacitor voltage equals the parallel-branch voltage. Define . ThenAt low frequency ; at high frequency ; at resonance . Thus it is a band-pass voltage filter or resonant frequency selector. Its phase decreases continuously from through zero to . Half-power points satisfy and
For the supplied component values and , and . The element peak currents areInductor and capacitor currents are opposite phasors; their magnitudes subtract here rather than add. The resistor carries the input current, withThese results assume ideal components and sinusoidal steady state.
