It can be seen from the graph of the simulation (Figure __) that both curves reached their peaks

in the same frequency which is 50 Hz. In this manner, it can be deduced that the resonant frequency of a parallel RLC circuit is independent of the values of the resistors used. This statement can also be verified by the formula in finding the resonant frequency ( Eq.#). Though both curves approach their peaks in the same frequency, the currents measured in their peaks were not equal. Since the voltage throughout the circuit is constant, then Ohms law reveals that the higher the resistance value, the lower its current. Thus, in the figure shown above, the 1.5 k resistor gained a value of 22.61 mA which is lower compared to the 31.41 mA that was obtained using the 1 k resistor. Meanwhile, the graph of the data gathered from the experimental method is shown in Figure __. The curve of the current using the 1 k resistance has its peak0.775 mA at 10 kHz. While, the peak measured by using the 1.5 k was 0.251 mA at 7kHz frequency. Though both values for the resonant frequency have a more than a hundred percent discrepancy compared to the previous simulation, it can be clearly seen that their graphs follow the trend of the previous simulation. Also, in the experimental method both curves obtained their peaks at different frequencies which opposes the statement mentioned earlier. This difference might be acquired from the charging of the capacitor that affects the current measured in the resistor branch (haha joke lang). But, as shown above, the 1.5 k has a lower current peak compared to the 1 k resistor which agrees to that of the simulations trend.

As shown in the simulations graph of the impedance versus frequency in Figure ___, the impedance of both curves reaches their minimum points at the same frequency which is 50 Hz . This is the resonant frequency. When the circuit reaches its resonance, the values for the inductive and capacitive reactance cancel out which results into the impedances lowest point. Also, in resonance, the impedance serves like a resistance of the circuit. In this way, when the current is at its peak or during resonance, the impedance is at its lowest point. Moreover, the impedance is directly proportional to the value of the resistance. Thus, the impedance of 9.9728 obtained in the 1.5 k resistor is larger than that of the 7.004 impedance measured using the 1 k resistor. It can also be seen from the graph that impedance increases above and below the resonant point. This occurrence can be attributed to the inductors and the capacitors behaviours. In a parallel RLC circuit at low frequencies, the inductive reactance is less than the capacitive reactance making the circuit inductive. As the frequency increased, XL increases while XC decreases until a value is reached wherein XL= XC (resonance). As the frequency further increased, XC increases while XL decreases making the circuit capacitive, which results into the impedance approaching positive infinity. Also, since the voltage is constant throughout the circuit, then as the current approaches zero at higher frequencies, the impedance approaches infinity. This same trend was also observed at the graph of the impedance versus the frequency using the experimental method (Figure __).

Introduction
Resonance is the basis for the frequency selectivity in communication systems especially in radio receivers. Circuits with both inductance and capacitance can exhibit the property of resonance, which is important in many types of applications. An RLC circuit reaches its resonance when its inductive reactance is equal to its capacitive reactance. This happens at a certain frequency commonly called as the resonant frequency of the circuit. Also, during resonance, the current and the voltage reaches its peak for the parallel and series RLC circuit, respectively. The mentioned resonant frequency has a formula of

where f is the frequency express in Hertz, L is the inductance and C is the capacitance. After studying the behaviour of a series RLC circuit before, during and after its resonance, the team came up with a study to analyse the behaviour of a parallel RLC circuit. Moreover, the team also intended to vary the values of the passive components of this circuit and to perform this experiment in simulation and experimental method.
