Inside the circuit loop between the inductor and capacitor the current will be at maximum. Outside the circuit the current through the LC tank circuit will be at minimum. It depends on where you are measuring it.
THE PARALLEL rlc CIRCUIT IS CALLED A REJECTOR CIRCUIT BECAUSE IT REJECTS DOWN THE CURRENT. THE REASON IS AT RESONANCE THE IMPEDENCE OF THE CAPACITOR BECOMES EQUAL TO THAT OF THE INDUCTOR SO NO CURRENT FLOWS. AT LOW FREQUENCY THE CAPACITIVE REACTANCE IS LOW SO ALL THE CURRENT FLOWS THROUGH THE INDUCTOR AND WHEN THE FREQUENCY IS HIGH ALL THE CURRENT WILL FLOW THROUGH THE CAPACITOR BECAUSE AT THAT POINT THE REACTANCE OF THE CAPACITOR IS LOW. SO WE OBTAIN A V-SHAPED GRAPH WITH THE PEAK OF V INDICATING THE REJECTION OF CURRENT IN PARALLEL R-L-C CIRCUIT CIRCUIT,AT RESONANCE,IMPEDANCE IS MAXIMUM AND CURRENT IS MINIMUM.HENCE, SUCH A CIRCUIT WHEN USED IN RADIO STATIONS IS KNOWN AS REJECTOR CIRCUIT BECAUSE IT REJECTS OR TAKES MINIMUM CURRENT OF THAT DESIRED FREQUENCY TO WHICH IT RESONATES.(THIS RESONANCE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS CURRENT RESONANCE BECAUSE THE CURRENT CIRCULATING BETWEEN THE TWO BRANCHES IS MANY TIMES GREATER THAN THE LINE CURRENT TAKEN FROM THE SUPPLY.THE PHENOMENON OF PARALLEL RESONANCE IS OF GREAT PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE BECAUSE IT FORMS THE BASIS OF TUNED CIRCUITS IN ELECTRONICS.)A PARALLEL R-L-C CIRCUIT HAS THE PROPERTY OF SELECTIVITY I.E.IT CAN SELECT THE DESIRED FREQUENCY FOR AMPLIFICATION OUT OF A LARGE NUMBER OF FREQUENCIES SIMULTANEOUSLY IMPRESSED UPON IT.FOR INSTANCE IF A MIXTURE OF FREQUENCIES INCLUDING RESONANT FREQUENCY IS FED TO THE INPUT THEN MAXIMUM AMPLIFICATION OCCURS FOR THE RESONANT FREQUENCY.FOR ALL OTHER FREQUENCIES ,THE CIRCUIT OFFERS VERY LOW IMPEDANCE AND HENCE THESE ARE AMPLIFIED TO A LESSER EXTENT AND MAY BE THOUGHT AS REJECTED BY THE CIRCUIT.

Because the series resonant circuit has the lowest possible impedance at resonance frequency, thus allowing the AC current to circulate through it. At resonance frequency, XC=XL and XL-XC = 0. Therefore, the only electrical characteristic left in the circuit to oppose current is the internal resistance of the two components. Hence, at resonance frequency, Z = R. Note: This effect is probably better seen with vectors. Clarification: Resonant circuits come in two flavors, series and parallel. Series resonant circuits do have an impedance equal to zero at the resonant frequency. This characteristic makes series resonant circuits especially well suited to be used as basic pass-band filters (acceptors). However, parallel circuits present their maximum impedance at the resonant frequency, which makes them ideal for tuning purposes.
For a particular frequency if the current or the voltage of the circuit is Maximum or Minimum then that circuit is said to be in resonance .
XL=Xc is the resonance condition for an RLC circuit
Because the only opposition to current flow is the resistance of the circuit. This is because, at resonance, the vector sum of the inductive and capacitive reactances is zero.
As a parallel resonance circuit only functions on resonant frequency, this type of circuit is also known as an Rejecter Circuit because at resonance, the impedance of the circuit is at its maximum thereby suppressing or rejecting the current whose frequency is equal to its resonant frequency.
Inside the circuit loop between the inductor and capacitor the current will be at maximum. Outside the circuit the current through the LC tank circuit will be at minimum. It depends on where you are measuring it.
Max efficiency of energy transfer can only occur when impedence source matches the impedence of the load.

In natural frequencies the output of the system will be less than the maximum level. In the resonance frequency the output of the system will be the maximum level.

a circuit in which inductance L,capacitance C and resistance R are connected in series and the circuit admits maximumum current corresponding to a given frequency of a.c.Another AnswerIn the case of a series circuit, resonance occurs when its inductive reactance is exactly equal to its capacitive reactance. As the vector sum of these two quantities will then be zero, the only opposition to current will be resistance and, so, maximum current will flow through the circuit when resonance occurs. ALL circuits can be made to resonate at what is called their 'resonant frequency' because, as frequency increases, the inductive reactance increases but capacitive reactance falls -so, at some point the two will equal each other, and resonance will occur.In my view resonance means - the condition that exists when the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance are of equal magnitude, causing electrical energy to oscillate between the magnetic field of the inductor and the electric field of the capacitor.
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.
