Applications of series and parallel resonance?

A series one can be used as a "trap" if connected across a voltage source. If an unwanted signal = to
its resonant freq. appears across the source, it would be "dumped" to ground by the trap. This is
because the impedance of the trap is virtually zero, so it's like a short at its resonant freq.
A parallel one can be used to tune a radio station. The tuned circuit would be connected between the
antenna and chassis ground. The impedance of the tuned parallel circuit is very high, so the radio
station signal would develop a high voltage across it, which could then be amplified. This makes
other freq. to be "ignored" or "discriminated" by the circuit.
There are other applications for either one

The reason behind this is because with a constant ac source Voltage when you decrease or increase
the resistance across the resonant circuit the current increases or decreases correspondingly so that I
x R is always equal to V. The only current path available at it`s resonant frequency is through the
resistor therefore you can ignore Xc and Xl at resonance and treat the circuit as if the resistor were
the only component in the circuit.

Of course if you lower the resistance across the resonant circuit enough so that you start dropping
Voltage across the internal resistance of the AC source Voltage then the Voltage will start dropping
across the resonant circuit as you further decrease the resistance. In any case as has already been
pointed out the Voltage across a parallel resonant circuit will always equal the ac source Voltage as
long as there is no other impedance in series with the two.
