Lc Definition and 165 Threads

I recently read that a 1/4 wave resonator is equivalent to a series lc circuit but with a much higher q. In a typical resonant LC series circuit voltage magnifications exists, does the same thing occur in a 1/4 resonator since it is equivalent to a series LC circuit? Thanks in advance!

I was reading a very old article this morning about electrical theory, it was talking about the flow of current in a tank circuit otherwise known as a tuned cct. (parallel LC cct). A strange and disturbing thought struck me. I know *how* a tank cct oscillates. but I don't have the foggiest...

Current increases up to a certain point, and then decreases until it reaches zero. Then it does the same thing in the other direction. Here's my problem. Without the inductor, the current would not increase over time: it would decay until the two plates had equal charge. With the inductor, I...

A series LC circuit at resonance has a higher total voltage than the applied voltage due to voltage magnification. If a diode were inserted between L and C it would prevent the back and forth oscillation of energy, But would it prevent voltage magnification if the circuit were driven at...
