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 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.
What are the applications of single tuned coupled circuits?
The resonance effect of the LC circuit has many important applications in signal processing and communications systems.The most common application of tank circuits is tuning radio transmitters and receivers. For example, when we tune a radio to a particular station, the LC circuits are set at resonance for that particular carrier frequency.A series resonant circuit provides voltage magnification.A parallel resonant circuit provides current magnification.A parallel resonant circuit can be used as load impedance in output circuits of RF amplifiers. Due to high impedance, the gain of amplifier is maximum at resonant frequency.Both parallel and series resonant circuits are used in induction heating.LC circuits behave as electronic resonators, which are a key component in many applications:AmplifiersOscillatorsFiltersTuners
In a tank circuit why can be the energy across the inductor and that of the capacitor not be equal?
When an LC tank is excited at the resonant frequency, the energy across each will be equal (but not necessary equal at a given moment in time). If excited at a frequency other than the resonant frequency, the impedance of the inductor (wjL) and capacitor (1/wjC) will not be equal, therefore energy across each will be different.
How does a RC tank circuit work?
A tank circuit is an LC filter that, when at resonance, has an near infinite resistance. It is composed of an inductor in parallel with a capacitor. Resonance occurs when the magnitude of the impedance of the cap and inductor are equal. They have a fairly narrow bandwidth, which is why they are used in RF applications. They are able to 'focus in' on the desired frequency, and ignore the others. For example, if I have a simple tank circuit with a resonant frequency at 1 MHz connected to an unregulated ac function generator, and I measure the voltage across the tank circuit, when the frequency I apply is close to the resonant frequency, the amplitude of my output begins to increase. So at 900kHz, say, I might be getting 90% of the signal I apply to the circuit as my output. The impedance of this circuit increases as the frequency nears the resonance frequency of the tank. So if I set the function generator to 1MHz, the tank has extremely high impedance, and functions like an open, so I can expect my entire signal to drop across the tank circuit. Alternately, they can be used to create oscillators. Another name for a tank circuit which more useful for visualizing how it functions is the slosh circuit. When energy is applied to the slosh circuit, the cap will discharge into the inductor, and vise versa, and it will oscillate like this at the tanks resonant frequency. The energy 'sloshes' from one component to the other. This can be exploited by circuitry to make oscillators, amplifiers, voltage doublers and so on. I have not seen an RC tank circuit before, but one is theoretically possible using an active circuit called a gyrator, which consists typically of an op amp, a couple resistors, and a capacitor. A gyrator essentially makes one component function like another. If I construct a gyrator with a cap, it will function much like an inductor (not identically, there are a few differences), and likewise, I could make a psuedo-cap using an inductor based gyrator. So one could conceivably make a tank circuit using this gyrator in place of an inductor. But as far as practicality goes, I'm not sure how good of a substitute it would make, as the gyrator doesn't exhibit all of the properties of an inductor, and some active components can be quite sensitive to voltage, and extreme voltages are possible in a tank circuit configuration due to opposing phase shifts from the components. And, just to be pedantic, it would probably be called an RCQ tank circuit.
What is the difference between dead tank type and live tank type current transformer?
The enclosure that houses winding in other words the tank is at line potential while in the other case it is at earth potential. it is the same in case of circuit breakers too. From NK Sharath Kumar cell 93412 55090 res fax 080 22290151,l/l 080 22233669,sharathkumar@vsnl.net With live tank circuit breakers, the enclosure that houses the contacts is energized, ie. "live". Dead tank circuit breaker's contact enclosures are not energized and are connected to the ground grid. Live tank breakers are usually less expensive but you have to have separate current transformers.

Why inductor use in series capacitor in parallel?
That depends on the type of circuit you are talking about. Sometimes both an inductor and capacitor are both in parallel with each other. This is called a tank circuit. Sometimes they are both used in series. These are both examples of resonant circuits. Sometimes the inductor can be in parallel with an applied voltage and the capacitor in series. This is a form of high pass filter. On the other hand, the inductor can be in series and the capacitor in parallel to for a low pass filter.
What is meant by tank circuit in hartley oscillator?
it is the circuit that is responsible for producing oscillation.In hartley it is two inductors connected in series and a capacitor parallel to this series connection.Without tank oscillator tends to act as as an amplifier.

What is resonant converter?
A switching power converter technology in which a resonant tank circuit operating at high frequencies is used to transfer energy to the output. Typically found in higher power (>100W) DC/DC applications.
Parallel tuned circuit in resonance frequency?
A parallel resonant circuit has at its heart an inductorand a capacitor. These are the two parallel components. They each react to voltage and current 180 degrees out of phase with each other. When we "hit" this circuit, called a parallel tank circuit, or just a tank, with voltage, one component is "putting energy into the circuit" while the other one is "storing it up" and then the two components switch roles. The result is that the tank will oscillate, and the frequency of oscillation will be determined by the value of the capacitor and the inductor.

How does a transistor act as a oscillator?
A: actually any active components will oscillate with positive feedback A transistor can be used as an amplifier along with an LC tank circuit to form an oscillator; it is an active device (as LIBURNO states) which will amplify the feedback signal coming out of the LC tank circuit. The tank circuit has a natural resonant frequency, meaning the L and C together will try to generate a specific frequency; this is then fed back into the input of the transistor amplifier, and the output is fed to the LC tank circuit exacerbating this oscillation until it reaches its' maximum level. An inverting amplifier can be used similarly; the output is fed to the input; this will cause the output to change as fast as the amplifier can. The frequency of this design is much harder to control, but potentially higher. Also, without the LC tank, the output voltage will remain lower.
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.
