Q83
The purpose of a parallel circuit resonance is to magnify
A.
Current
B.
Voltage
AnswerC.
Power
D.
Frequency
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
In a parallel circuit resonance, the purpose is to magnify voltage.
Resonance in a parallel circuit occurs when the impedance of the circuit becomes purely resistive, causing the current to be magnified and the voltage across the circuit elements to be maximized.
Option A: Current. While resonance does affect current, the primary purpose is to magnify voltage.
Option B: Voltage. This is correct as resonance in a parallel circuit results in the amplification of voltage.
Option C: Power. While resonance can affect power, its primary purpose is not to magnify power but rather voltage.
Option D: Frequency. Resonance does not magnify frequency but occurs at a specific frequency where the impedance of the circuit is minimized.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Voltage.
