$LC$ in parallel with $R$ circucit resonance

Physics Asked by Chern Simons on April 2, 2021

I’ve been doing an experiment which involves measuring the voltage across the capacitor at different driving frequencies.
Consider the circuit below:

A sketch of the experimental curve $(R_1<R_2<R_3)$ with $(L,C)$ constant:

However I am still trying to understand why resonance takes place in the first place.
My logic is as follows:

$V_L$ and $V_C$ are in antiphase with each other (the inductor is in phase with the capacitor), so the voltage of the LC combination and hence the voltage of the circuit is:
$$V=V_L-V_C$$
$V$ is in phase with $I_R$.
The circuit current is
$$I=sqrt{I_{LC}^2+I_R^2}$$
$$frac{V}{Z}=sqrt{left(frac{V}{Z_{LC}}right)^2+left(frac{V}{R}right)^2}$$.
Since $V=V_{LC}=V_L-V-C$, $I_{LC}Z_{LC}=I_{LC}X_L-I_{LC}X_C$,
$$Z_{LC}=X_L-X_{C}$$
$$frac{1}{Z}=sqrt{frac{1}{(X_L-X_C)^2}+frac{1}{R^2}} to Z=frac{|X_L-X_R|R}{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}$$
For resonance, $X_L=X_C to Z=0$.
But $Z=0$ would lead to $I to infty$ so something isn’t right with my derivation for $Z$ (circuit impedence)?

Also, I have been given the amplitude of the resonance peak:
$$A=frac{k}{sqrt{(omega^2-omega_0^2)^2+(gamma omega)^2}}$$
where $k$ is some normalisation factor, $omega=2pi f$ and $gamma$ is the damping coefficient.
For $A$ to increase with $R$, am I correct to assume that $gamma propto frac{1}{R}$? Is there a differential equation to describe the circuit?

EDIT:
The voltage source has an internal reactance of $600 Omega$, $R_1,R_2,R_3=1,2,3 Omega$
I obtained the folliwing differential eq.:
$$ddot{I}_{LC}(t)+frac{1}{L}frac{R_{output}R}{R+R_{output}}dot{I}_{LC(t)}+frac{I_{LC}(t)}{LC}=frac{RV_0 omega cos(omega t)}{(R+R_{output})L}$$, where $omega$ is the driving angular frequency and $V_0$ is the peak driving voltage. This means $gamma=frac{R_{output}R}{L(R+R_{output})}$ even if the output resistance is taken into account, but wouldn’t higher R lead to higher $gamma$ and hence lower amplitude?($R_{output}=text{internal r in the source voltage}$)
