Aug 24, 2017 at 14:56 comment added Andy aka Current at the previous frequency is twice if inductance halves. And current at new resonant frequency is 1.4142 times.
Aug 24, 2017 at 13:59 comment added MaDrung So, when I reduce the L, the current both at previous frequency and the new higher one is now higher? Bassicaly L acts just the opposite of C in a way.
Aug 24, 2017 at 13:19 comment added Andy aka ... part 2 here. Frequency has risen by 1.4142 but the inductor impedance has fallen by 2 at the original frequency but will have fallen by 1.4142 at the new frequency so the current taken by the inductor is 1.4142 times higher. Does this clear things up?
Aug 24, 2017 at 13:16 comment added Andy aka With L taken to a lower value and the applied frequency moved to the new higher resonant frequency you still have an AC voltage across an inductor and that inductor will still take current. Because L is smaller (say half) then the resonant frequency will have increased by \$\sqrt2\$. Are you with this so far.... part 2.... coming....
Aug 24, 2017 at 12:09 comment added MaDrung If I keep the same voltage amplitude and C and just reduce the L, the resonant frequency increases. But what happens to resonating current? Does it increase when I'm at the new resonance compared to when I was at the old resonance with previous system, or does it stay the same?
Aug 21, 2017 at 10:22 comment added Andy aka @MaDrung I'm unsure what you mean by "fill up". Generally every application is different - if you have freedom to choose L and C then both components take the same magnitude of current at resonance and at resonance, the applied voltage has the minimum current taken from it. Maybe you need to specify a particular application?
Aug 21, 2017 at 10:14 comment added MaDrung Thank you!! :) So we choose L in a way to make sure that C fills up to the same peak voltage as voltage across L does in any cycle. If we increase C, we have to reduce L to allow more current to flow so the C still fills up to the same voltage? If this is true, doesn't then make sense to choose even smaller L than that to fill the capacitor to even higher voltage which would further increase the current?
