Explanation

**At resonance** V_L = I X_L = I X_C = V_C, may be larger than source voltage Q times, Q-factor = ω₀ L/R =1/(ω₀ C R)= V_L/V = V_C/V, measures sharpness, higher Q sharper resonance, bandwidth Δω = R/L = ω₀/Q, resonant frequency independent of R. In a capacitor, I = C (dV/dt) , meaning the current is directly proportional to the rate of change of voltage. Conversely, the rate of change of current relates to the second derivative of voltage, but the primary relationship is that current depends on (dV/dt) . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z = √(R² + (X_L -
