SUMMARY
In an AC circuit consisting solely of an ideal inductor and resistor, resonance does not occur. Resonance frequency is defined as the condition where the impedance of the inductor equals the resistance of the resistor; however, this scenario is not achievable without the inclusion of a capacitor. Therefore, a resonant circuit requires both an inductor and a capacitor to establish resonance.
