Encyclopedia > Electrical resonance

In an electrical circuit, resonance occurs at a particular frequency when the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance are of equal magnitude, causing electrical energy to oscillate between the magnetic field of the inductor and the electric field of the capacitor. An electrical network is an interconnection of electrical elements such as resistors, inductors, capacitors, diodes, switches and transistors. ... This article is about electronics. ... In the analysis of an alternating-current electrical circuit (for example a RLC series circuit), reactance is the imaginary part of impedance, and is caused by the presence of inductors or capacitors in the circuit. ... It has been suggested that Magnetic field density be merged into this article or section. ... In physics, an electric field or E-field is an effect produced by an electric charge (or a time-varying magnetic field) that exerts a force on charged objects in the field. ...


Resonance occurs because the collapsing magnetic field of the inductor generates an electric current in its windings that charges the capacitor and the discharging capacitor provides an electric current that builds the magnetic field in the inductor, and the process is repeated. An analogy is a mechanical pendulum. Simple gravity pendulum assumes no air resistance and no friction of/at the nail/screw. ...


At resonance, the series impedance of the two elements is at a minimum and the parallel impedance is a maximum. Resonance is used for tuning and filtering, because resonance occurs at a particular frequency for given values of inductance and capacitance. Resonance can be detrimental to the operation of communications circuits by causing unwanted sustained and transient oscillations that may cause noise, signal distortion, and damage to circuit elements. In electrical engineering, Impedance is a measure of opposition to a sinusoidal electric current. ... In music, tuning is the process of producing or preparing to produce a certain pitch in relation to another, usually at the unison but often at some other interval. ... Sine waves of various frequencies; the lower waves have higher frequencies than those above. ... The word operation can mean any of several things: The method, act, process, or effect of using a device or system. ... In telecommunications, information transfer is the process of moving messages containing user information from a source to a sink. ... NOiSE is a one volume manga created by Tsutomu Nihei as a prequel to his acclaimed ten-volume work, Blame!. It offers some rather sketchy information concerning the Megastructures origins and initial size, as well as the origins of Silicon life. ...


Since the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance are of equal magnitude, ωL = 1/ωC, where ω = 2πf, in which f is the resonant frequency in hertz, L is the inductance in henries, and C is the capacitance in farads when standard SI units are used. The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the SI unit of frequency. ... The henry (symbol: H) is the SI unit of inductance. ... The farad (symbol: F) is the SI unit of capacitance. ... The International System of Units (symbol: SI) (for the French phrase Système International dUnités) is the most widely used system of units. ...
