A tank circuit is typically a combination of 'capacitive' and 'inductive' circuits that exchange 'energy' back and forth. An inductor stores energy as a magnetic field, wheras a capacitor stores energy as a charge across plates. Ideally, the exchange between them would go on forever (back and forth like a game of hot potato) however, a slight replenishing signal is needed practically. By selecting the proper values of components, the rate, or frequency, of exchange can be determined.

∙ 12y agoGood question! I am a science freak. a tank circuit is basically a circuit of a capacitor and a inductor.
A capacitor stores voltage, usually from a battery
An inductor is a coil of wires. Whenever a voltage (think of electricity)run across the inductor (think of it as running through it), it creates a magnetic field.
basically the capacitor is filled up usually with a battery, and then it comes out the other end of the capacitor through the wire to the inductor which makes a magnetic field and the vice versa. They just keep exchanging.

How op amp works as oscillator?
oscillator needs positive feedback in order to produce the undamped oscillations .This is done with help of he amplifier circuit.The oscillations are produced by the tank circuit cosisting of inductor and capacitor.The output of this tank circuit is fedback to the transistor which amplifies it and give back to the tank circuit input.If the gain of the circuit consisting of tank circuit and amplifier is more than one and the feedback given to tank circuit is in phase then we get undamped scillations as the output.
What is capacitors in combination?
it is the tank circuit
When a parallel LC circuit is tuned to resonance the tank circuit draws?
very low current
How do you prevent the excess amount of current flows through the source?
An inrush current preventing circuit includes a rectification circuit, a temperature-sensitive component, a controller, a switching circuit, and a tank circuit. The controller outputs a control signal to turn on the switching circuit in response to the tank circuit being at a substantially full voltage, and the rectification circuit and the switching circuit forming a current loop for providing power from the rectification circuit to an electronic device. The controller outputs no control signal to turn off the switching circuit in response to the tank circuit being undercharged, and the rectification circuit and temperature-sensitive component forming a current loop for providing power from the rectification circuit to the electronic device for protecting the electronic device. the rectification circuit and the switching circuit forming a current loop to provide power from the rectification circuit to the electronic device;wherein the controller does not output a control signal to turn off the switching circuit in response to the tank circuit being undercharged, the rectification circuit and temperature-sensitive component forming a current loop to provide power from the rectification circuit to the electronic device such that an excess amount of current is prevented from flowing to the electronic device

Why parallel resonance circuit is called tank circuit?
traditionit is often used (like a storage tank for water is) to store resonant energy in AC circuits.
When a parallel LC circuit is tuned to resonance the tank circuit draws?
very low current
Why does a series resonant circuit cannot be tank circuit?
A series resonant circuit has it's reactive components connected in series with each other; while the reactive components, as in a "tank" circuit, are connected in parallel with each other. The resonant series circuit has the capability of producing usable increased voltage levels across each component at resonance, while the resonant tank circuit does not. The resonant parallel, or "tank" circuit; has the dual capability of creating a situation whereby the input amperage level is reduced to minimum while, at the same time, a maximum amount of circulating amperage is created between the two reactive tank components at resonance.
Why do we use a tank circuit in an am radio?
we use the tank network in AM radio curcite because we get the resonens frequncy.
What is a tank circuit used for?
A tank circuit is used on a radio transmitter. It is an electronic circuit that is used to tune a specific frequency. The tank is made up of two components, an inductor and a capacitor. The two components are connected in a parallel with each other. This is where the term "tank" comes from. Used in a radio transmitter, it is tuned for maximum RF (radio frequency) output on the frequency the transmitter is tuned to.
In what type of circuit does electricity travel when it does work?
Electricity travels in a closed circuit when it does work.
What type of circuit does electricity travel when it does work?
Electricity travels in a closed circuit when it does work.
What is the type of circuit that will not work when a component burns out?
A seríes circuit will not work when a component burns out, because then no current can pass around the circuit.
