What is the magnitude of the current at the input of a parallel RLC circuit at resonance?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. Minimum
A parallel resonant circuit has its highest impedance at resonance. So the current drawn at its input is at a minimum.
Tip: Parallel resonance: high Z, low input current.
