The properties of the parallel RLC circuit can be obtained from the duality relationship of electrical circuits and considering that the parallel RLC is the dual impedance of a series RLC. Considering this it becomes clear that the differential equations describing this circuit are identical to the general form of those describing a series RLC.
For the parallel circuit, the attenuation α is given by
and the damping factor is consequently
This is the inverse of the expression for ζ in the series circuit. Likewise, the other scaled parameters, fractional bandwidth and Q are also the inverse of each other. This means that a wide band, low Q circuit in one topology will become a narrow band, high Q circuit in the other topology when constructed from components with identical values. The Q and fractional bandwidth of the parallel circuit are given by

Famous quotes containing the words parallel and/or circuit:
“If from the earth we came, it was an earth
That bore us as a part of all the things
It breeds and that was lewder than it is.
Our nature is her nature. Hence it comes,
Since by our nature we grow old, earth grows
The same. We parallel the mothers death.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“The Father and His angelic hierarchy
That made the magnitude and glory there
Stood in the circuit of a needles eye.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
