LCR Circuit. When a pure resistance R, pure inductor L and an ideal capacitor of capacitance C is connected in series to a source of alternating emf then current at any instant through the three elements has the same amplitude and is represented as I = I 0 sinϖt.

Resonant Series LCR Circuit. When the frequency of ac supply is such that the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance become equal, the impedance of the series LCR circuit is equal to the ohmic resistance in the circuit. Such a series LCR circuit is known as resonant series LCR circuit and the frequency of the ac supply is known as resonant frequency.
