Parallel Resonant Circuit
Find the Land C values for a parallel resonant circuit that has R = 10 kΩ, f0 = 1MHz, and B = 100 kHz. If I = 10-3∠0, draw the phasor diagram showing the currents through each of the elements in the circuit at resonance.

First, we compute the quality factor of the circuit. Rearranging Equation 6.46 and substituting values, we have
B=\frac{f_0}{Q_p} (6.46)
Q_p=\frac{f_0}{B}=\frac{10^6}{10^5}=10
Solving Equation 6.41 for the inductance and substituting values, we get
Q_p=\frac{R}{2\pi f_0 L} (6.41)
L=\frac{R}{2\pi f_0 Q_p}=\frac{10^4}{2\pi \times 10^6 \times 10 }=159.2~\mu \mathrm{H}
Similarly, using Equation 6.42, we find that
Q_p=2\pi f_0 CR (6.42)
C=\frac{Q_p}{2 \pi f_0 R}=\frac{10}{2\pi \times 10^6 \times 10^4}=159.2\mathrm{~pF}
At resonance, the voltage is given by
\mathrm{V_{out}}=\mathrm{I}R=(10^{-3}\angle 0^\circ)\times 10^4 =10\angle 0^\circ
and the currents are given by
\mathrm{I}_R=\frac{\mathrm{V_{out}}}{R}=\frac{10\angle 0^\circ}{10^4}=10^{-3}\angle 0^\circ
\mathrm{I}_L=\frac{\mathrm{V_{out}}}{j2\pi f_0 L}=\frac{10\angle 0^\circ}{j10^3}=10^{-2}\angle -90^\circ
\mathrm{I}_C=\frac{\mathrm{V_{out}}}{-j/2\pi f_0 C}=\frac{10\angle 0^\circ}{-10^3}=10^{-2}\angle 90^\circ
The phasor diagram is shown in Figure 6.31. Notice that the currents through the inductance and capacitance are larger in magnitude than the applied source current. However, since IC and IL are out of phase, they cancel.
