Definitions:

Series Resonance

A condition in a series circuit when the inductive and capacitive reactances cancel each other out, leading to a maximum circuit current at a specific frequency.

Impedance

The total resistance to the flow of alternating current (AC), considering both the real resistance and reactive resistance (reactance) in a circuit.

PI Filters

Electronic filters used to reduce noise and suppress ripple in power supplies by combining the filtering properties of inductors and capacitors.

T Filters

A type of electronic filter design that uses a configuration resembling the letter T, commonly used for separating different frequencies.
