Line current and oscillating current

AI Thread Summary
Line current refers to the current supplied from the power source, while oscillating current is the current that flows within the tuned circuit due to resonance. In a parallel resonant LC circuit, the oscillating current can be significantly larger than the line current due to the energy storage capabilities of the inductor and capacitor. This difference in magnitudes is attributed to the resonance phenomenon, where energy oscillates between the inductor and capacitor, leading to higher peak currents. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing tuned circuits effectively. The provided link offers additional resources for further learning on this topic.

hey guys, i just started learning about tuned circuits. However, i can't understand the difference between line current and oscillating current and the reason for their different magnitudes in a parallel resonant LC circuit.
Please clarify the difference between the two.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
