Lets continue the exploration of the frequency response of RLC circuits by investigating

LC
The power dissipated in the RLC circuit is equal to the power dissipated by the resistor.
Since the voltage across a resistor (VR cos(t ) ) and the current through it ( I R cos(t ) ) are
in phase, the power is
p (t ) = VR cos(t ) I R cos(t )
= VR I R cos 2 (t )

Notice that this power is a function of frequency since the amplitudes VR and I R are
frequency dependent quantities.

At a certain frequency the power dissipated by the resistor is half of the maximum power

By multiplying Equation (1.9) with Equation (1.10) we can show that 0 is the geometric
mean of 1 and 2 .
0 = 12

As we see from the plot on Figure 2 the bandwidth increases with increasing R.
Equivalently the sharpness of the resonance increases with decreasing R.
For a fixed L and C, a decrease in R corresponds to a narrower resonance and thus a
higher selectivity regarding the frequency range that can be passed by the circuit.
As we increase R, the frequency range over which the dissipative characteristics
dominate the behavior of the circuit increases. In order to quantify this behavior we
define a parameter called the Quality Factor Q which is related to the sharpness of the
peak and it is given by
Q = 2
E

= 2 S

which represents the ratio of the energy stored to the energy dissipated in a circuit.

By combining Equations (1.9), (1.10), (1.11) and (1.18) we obtain the relationship
between the bandwidth and the Q factor.

Therefore:
A band pass filter becomes more selective (small B) as Q increases.
Similarly we may calculate the resonance characteristics of the parallel RLC circuit.

At the resonance frequency 1 2 LC = 0 and the impedance seen by the source is purely
resistive. The parallel combination of the capacitor and the inductor act as an open
circuit. Therefore at the resonance the total current flows through the resistor.
If we look at the current flowing through the resistor as a function of frequency we obtain
according to the current divider rule
