[Amps] resonance

[Bill Turner]

That depends on how one defines "resonance". As I understand it, 
there are two possible definitions for a parallel tuned circuit:

1. When Xl = Xc
-or-
2. When the impedance is maximum.

If there is significant resistance in the circuit, the two 
definitions will occur at slightly different frequencies. The greater 
the resistance, the greater the difference.

I remember reading this years ago. Correct?
