Mechanical resonance is the tendency of a mechanical system to absorb more energy when
the frequency of it oscillations matches the systems natural frequency of vibration then it
does at other frequencies.
Electrical resonance occurs in the electrical circuit at a particular resonant frequency when
the impedance between the input and output of the circuit is at a minimum (or when the
transfer function is at maximum).

Output impedance =

)
At the resonance imaginary part is zero
Therefore

Phasor diagrams can be used to represent voltages and currents in A.C. circuits. They show
not only the magnitude (size) of the voltage or current, but also the phase angle of it.

The fact that a change in the current of one coil affects the current and voltage in the second
coil is qualified in the property called metal inductance.
