Resonant Condition
By definition the resonant angular frequency, o, for the RLC series circuit occurs at the peak of the current response. Under this condition:
The real power is maximum The magnitude of impedance is minimum The circuit is purely resistive The imaginary part of the impedance is zero The pf = 1 The current is in phase with the voltage source
15
Lower half-power angular frequency, 1, condition
By definition lower half-power angular frequency, 1, occurs when the power is Po/2 and the angular frequency is below the resonant angular frequency.
The real power is Po/2 The current is Io /2 The magnitude of impedance is 2R X = -R The circuit is predominantly capacitive The pf = cos(45) leading
16
By definition lower half-power angular frequency, 2, occurs when the power is Po/2 and the angular frequency is above the resonant angular frequency.

Are the half-power frequencies symmetrical around o?
21 o
Generally No.
The resonant frequency is the geometric mean of the half-power frequencies.
But, If Q 10, the half-power frequencies can be approximately considered as symmetrical around o . Then
