The half-power frequencies, ω₁ and ω₂, are defined as the frequencies where the magnitude of the input admittance of a parallel resonant circuit is greater than its magnitude at resonance by what factor?
Explanation
Half-power frequencies are named because at these points, the power delivered to the circuit is half of the maximum power delivered at resonance. This corresponds to the voltage or current being 1/√2 of its peak value, and the admittance being √2 times its minimum value.
