At resonance, what impedance does a parallel tuned circuit exhibit?
- AHigh impedance
- BLow impedance
- CImpedance equal to reactance of the circuit
- DImpedance equal to resistance of the circuit
Correct answer: A — High impedance. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
At resonance, a parallel tuned circuit acts like a roadblock to the flow of alternating current, resulting in high impedance. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
