An '''LC circuit''', also called a '''resonant circuit''', '''tank circuit''', or '''tuned circuit''', consists of an [[inductor]], represented by the letter L, and a [[capacitor]], represented by the letter C. When connected together, they can act as an electrical [[resonator]], an electrical analogue of a [[tuning fork]], storing  energy oscillating at the circuit's [[resonant frequency]].

LC circuits are used either for generating signals at a particular frequency, or picking out a signal at a particular frequency from a more complex signal.  They are key components in many electronic devices, particularly radio equipment, used in circuits such as [[Electronic oscillator|oscillators]], [[Electronic filter|filters]], [[Tuner (electronics)|tuners]] and [[frequency mixer]]s.
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:


An LC circuit is an idealized model since it assumes there is no dissipation of energy due to [[electrical resistance|resistance]].  For a model incorporating resistance see [[RLC circuit]]. The purpose of an LC circuit is to oscillate with minimal [[damping]], and for this reason their resistance is made as low as possible. While no practical circuit is without losses, it is nonetheless instructive to study this pure form to gain a good understanding.

An LC circuit can store [[electrical energy]] oscillating at its [[resonant frequency]]. A capacitor stores energy in the [[electric field]] between its plates, depending on the [[voltage]] across it, and an inductor stores energy in its [[magnetic field]], depending on the [[Electric current|current]] through it.


If a charged capacitor is connected across an inductor, charge will start to flow through the inductor, building up a magnetic field around it and reducing the voltage on the capacitor. Eventually all the charge on the capacitor will be gone and the voltage across it will reach zero. However, the current will continue, because inductors resist changes in current. The energy to keep it flowing is extracted from the magnetic field, which will begin to decline. The current will begin to charge the capacitor with a voltage of opposite polarity to its original charge. When the magnetic field is completely dissipated the current will stop and the charge will again be stored in the capacitor, with the opposite polarity as before. Then the cycle will continue in a similar way, with the current flowing in the opposite direction through the inductor.
'''source'''
:<math forcemathmode="source">E=mc^2</math> -->


The charge flows back and forth between the plates of the capacitor, through the inductor. The energy oscillates back and forth between the capacitor and the inductor until (if not replenished by power from an external circuit) internal [[Electrical resistance|resistance]] makes the oscillations die out. Its action, known mathematically as a [[harmonic oscillator]], is similar to a [[pendulum]] swinging back and forth, or water sloshing back and forth in a tank. For this reason the circuit is also called a '''tank circuit'''.   The oscillation frequency is determined by the capacitance and inductance values. In typical tuned circuits in electronic equipment the oscillations are very fast, thousands to millions of times per second.

By [[Kirchhoff's voltage law]], the voltage across the capacitor, ''V''<sub>C</sub>, plus the voltage across the inductor, ''V''<sub>L</sub> must equal zero:

Rearranging and substituting gives the second order [[differential equation]]
 
::<math>\frac{d ^{2}i(t)}{dt^{2}} + \frac{1}{LC} i(t) = 0.\,</math>
 
The parameter ω, the [[radian frequency]], is defined as: ω&nbsp;=&nbsp;(''LC'')<sup>&minus;1/2</sup>.  Using this can simplify the differential equation
 
::<math>\frac{d ^{2}i(t)}{dt^{2}} + \omega^ {2} i(t) = 0.\,</math>
 
The associated polynomial is ''s''<sup>2</sup>&nbsp;+ω<sup>2</sup>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0, thus
 
::<math>s = +j \omega\,</math>
 
or
 
::<math>s = -j \omega\,</math>
 
::::where ''j'' is the [[imaginary unit]].
 
Thus, the complete solution to the differential equation is
 
::<math>i(t) = Ae ^{+j \omega t}  +  Be ^{-j \omega t}\,</math>
 
and can be solved for ''A'' and ''B'' by considering the initial conditions. 
 
Since the exponential is [[complex numbers|complex]], the solution represents a sinusoidal [[alternating current]]. 
 
If the initial conditions are such that ''A''&nbsp;=&nbsp;''B'', then we can use [[Euler's formula]] to obtain a real [[sinusoid]] with [[amplitude]] 2''A'' and [[angular frequency]] ω&nbsp;=&nbsp;(''LC'')<sup>&minus;1/2</sup>.
 
Thus, the resulting solution becomes:
 
::<math>i(t) = 2 A \cos(\omega t).\, </math>
 
The initial conditions that would satisfy this result are:
 
::<math>i(t=0) = 2 A\,</math>
 
and
 
::<math>\frac{di}{dt}(t=0) = 0.\,</math>
 
== Resonance effect ==
The resonance effect occurs when inductive and capacitive [[Reactance (electronics)|reactance]]s are equal in magnitude.  The frequency at which this equality holds for the particular circuit is called the resonant frequency.
The [[Electrical resonance|resonant frequency]] of the LC circuit is
 
::<math>\omega = \sqrt{1 \over LC}</math>
where '''L''' is the [[inductance]] in [[Henry (unit)|henries]], and '''C''' is the [[capacitance]] in [[farad]]s.  The [[angular frequency]] <math>\omega\,</math>  has units of [[radian]]s per second.
 
The equivalent frequency in units of [[hertz]] is
 
::<math>f = { \omega \over 2 \pi } = {1 \over {2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}}. </math>
 
LC circuits are often used as filters; the L/C ratio is one of the factors that determines their [[Q factor|"Q"]] and so [[electronic selectivity|selectivity]]. For a series resonant circuit with a given resistance, the higher the inductance and the lower the capacitance, the narrower the filter [[Bandwidth (signal processing)|bandwidth]]. For a parallel resonant circuit the opposite applies. Positive feedback around the [[tuned circuit]] ("regeneration") can also increase selectivity (see [[positive feedback|Q multiplier]] and [[Regenerative circuit]]).
 
[[Tuned radio frequency receiver|Stagger tuning]] can provide an acceptably wide audio bandwidth, yet good selectivity.
 
==Series LC circuit==
=== Resonance ===
Here L and C are connected in series. Inductive reactance magnitude (<math>\scriptstyle X_L\,</math>) increases as frequency increases while [[reactance (electronics)#Capacitive reactance|capacitive reactance]] magnitude (<math>\scriptstyle X_C\,</math>) decreases with the increase in frequency. At a particular frequency these two reactances are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. The frequency at which this happens is the resonant frequency (<math>\scriptstyle f_r\,</math>) for the given circuit.
 
Hence, at <math>\scriptstyle f_r\,</math> :
 
:<math>X_L = -X_C\,</math>
 
:<math>{\omega {L}} = {{1} \over {\omega} {C}}\,</math>
 
Converting angular frequency into hertz we get
 
:<math>{2 \pi fL} = {1 \over {2 \pi fC}}</math>
 
Here ''f'' is the resonant frequency. Then rearranging,
 
:<math>f = {1 \over {2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}} </math>
 
In a series configuration, ''X''<sub>C</sub> and ''X''<sub>L</sub> cancel each other out. In real, rather than idealised components the current is opposed, mostly by the resistance of the coil windings. Thus, the current supplied to a series resonant circuit is a maximum at resonance.
 
* At ''f''<sub>r</sub>, current is maximum. Circuit impedance is minimum. In this state a circuit is called an ''acceptor circuit''.
* Below ''f''<sub>r</sub>, <math>\scriptstyle X_L \;\ll\; (-X_C)\,</math>. Hence circuit is capacitive.
* Above ''f''<sub>r</sub>, <math>\scriptstyle X_L \;\gg\; (-X_C)\,</math>.  Hence circuit is inductive.
 
===Impedance===
 
First consider the [[Electrical impedance|impedance]] of the series LC circuit. The total impedance is given by the sum of the inductive and capacitive impedances:
 
::<math>Z = Z_{L} + Z_{C}</math>
 
By writing the inductive impedance as ''Z''<sub>L</sub>&nbsp;=&nbsp;''j''ω''L'' and capacitive impedance as ''Z''<sub>C</sub>&nbsp;=&nbsp;(''j''ω''C'')<sup>&minus;1</sup> and substituting we have
 
::<math>Z = j \omega L + \frac{1}{j{\omega C}}</math> .
 
Writing this expression under a common denominator gives
 
::<math>Z = \frac{(\omega^{2} L C - 1)j}{\omega C}</math> .
 
The numerator implies that if ω<sup>2</sup>''LC''&nbsp;=&nbsp;1 the total impedance Z will be zero and otherwise non-zero. Therefore the series LC circuit, when connected in series with a load, will act as a [[band-pass filter]] having zero impedance at the resonant frequency of the LC circuit.
 
==Parallel LC circuit==
=== Resonance ===
Here a coil (L) and capacitor (C) are connected in parallel with an AC power supply. Let R be the internal resistance of the coil. When X<sub>L</sub> equals X<sub>C</sub>, the reactive branch currents are equal and opposite. Hence they cancel out each other to give minimum current in the main line. Since total current is minimum, in this state the total impedance is maximum.
 
Resonant frequency given by: <math>f = {1 \over {2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}} </math>.
 
Note that any reactive branch current is not minimum at resonance, but each is given separately by dividing source voltage (V) by reactance (Z). Hence I=V/Z, as per [[Ohm's law]].
 
* At ''f''<sub>r</sub>, line current is minimum. Total impedance is maximum. In this state a circuit is called a ''rejector circuit''.
* Below ''f''<sub>r</sub>, circuit is inductive.
* Above ''f''<sub>r</sub>,circuit is capacitive.
 
=== Impedance ===
 
The same analysis may be applied to the parallel LC circuit. The total impedance is then given by:
 
::<math>Z = \frac{Z_{L}Z_{C}}{Z_{L} + Z_{C}}</math>
 
and after substitution of <math>\scriptstyle Z_{L}</math> and <math>\scriptstyle Z_{C}</math> and simplification, gives
 
::<math>Z=\frac{-j \omega L}{\omega^{2}LC-1}</math>.
 
Note that
 
::<math> \lim_{\omega^{2}LC \to 1}Z = \infty </math>
but for all other values of <math>\scriptstyle \omega^{2} L C</math> the impedance is finite (and therefore less than infinity). The parallel LC circuit connected in series with a load will act as [[band-stop filter]] having infinite impedance at the resonant frequency of the LC circuit. The parallel LC circuit connected in parallel with a load will act as [[band-pass filter]].
 
== Applications ==
=== Applications of resonance effect ===
# Most common application is '''tuning'''. For example, when we tune a radio to a particular station, the LC circuits are set at resonance for that particular [[Carrier wave|carrier frequency]].
# A series resonant circuit provides voltage magnification.
# A parallel resonant circuit provides current magnification.
# A parallel resonant circuit can be used as load impedance in output circuits of RF amplifiers. Due to high impedance, the gain of amplifier is maximum at resonant frequency.
# Both parallel and series resonant circuits are used in induction heating.
 
LC circuits behave as electronic [[resonators]], which are a key component in many applications:

He correctly deduced that this was caused by a damped oscillating discharge current in the wire, which reversed the magnetization of the needle back and forth until it was too small to have an effect, leaving the needle magnetized in a random direction.  American physicist [[Joseph Henry]] repeated Savary's experiment in 1842 and came to the same conclusion, apparently independently.<ref name="Kimball">{{cite book
