  1. Question 1

    Q1. Why does a parallel resonant circuit have maximum impedance at resonance?

    • A) Current cancellation in branches
    • B) Energy stored in magnetic field
    • C) Resistive components dominate
    • D) Phase angles align perfectly

    Answer: Current cancellation in branches

    Explanation: Inductive and capacitive branch currents cancel each other. Option D describes series resonance behavior.
