Resonance of a Parallel LCR network

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The resonance peak of a parallel LCR network diminishes in amplitude as resistance increases due to the relationship between impedance and resistance at resonance. At resonance, the reactance is zero, making the total impedance equal to the resistance. The correct expression for the resonant frequency of this circuit is given by ω2 = ω02 - y2, where y = R/2L and ω0 = 1/√(LC). Variations in expressions for resonant frequency can be found in different configurations, as detailed in the referenced Wikipedia article.

Why does the resonance peak of a parallel LCR network (capacitor in parallel with in-series inductor and resisitor) get smaller in amplitude with increasing resistance? I have impedance/DC resistance plotted against frequency.


I'm really not sure about how to go about showing this, preferably mathematically. At resonance is the reactance 0, implying the impedance is just the resistance?

Also, what is the correct expression for the resonant frequency of this circuit? I get w[tex]^{2}[/tex] = w0[tex]^{2}[/tex] - y[tex]^{2}[/tex] when y=R/2L and w0= 1/ [tex]\sqrt{LC}[/tex] but I've seen different expressions, such as under other configurations here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

Any help would be massively appreciated!
