SUMMARY
The resonant frequency of a series-parallel LC circuit is determined by the total inductance and capacitance, which do not add linearly. For inductors in parallel, the total inductance is calculated by summing the reciprocals of each inductor's inductance and then taking the reciprocal of that sum. Conversely, for capacitors in series, the total capacitance is also calculated by summing the reciprocals of each capacitor's capacitance. This method ensures accurate calculations for resonance in such circuits.
