Total current needs to go through the inductor L1, How ?
Summary:: So the question is, what do I need to do on clamp 'ab', so that the total current only goes through the Inductor L1. I know the must be a second inductor parallel to the capacitor C1, but i don't know why. Can someone please explain. I also included the german question under the picture.- Etech_Soffy
