               Let us consider an inductive coil and a capacitor in parallel connected across
               a constant voltage variable frequency supply source as shown in Fig. 3.69 (a).

               Practically, both the capacitor and the inductor will have some losses which
               should be represented by a small resistance in series. Here we assume the

               capacitor as a loss-less one while the inductor coil has some resistance which
