One or more options correct
A series circuit has a resistor of , an ideal inductor of and a capacitor of capacitance . It is connected to a source of (rms) at angular frequency , at which the capacitive reactance is . Choose the correct statement(s).
- A. The rms current is .
- B. The current lags the source voltage.
- C. The average power dissipated is .
- D. Resonance would occur if the source angular frequency were itself.
Show answer and solution
Answer: A, C
The inductive reactance is and , so . The impedance is and : (A) is true. Because the circuit is capacitive, , so the current leads the voltage by : (B) is false. The average power is , the same as : (C) is true. The capacitance is , so the resonant frequency is , not : (D) is false. The phase angle can also be seen from the power factor , which confirms the power and shows that all of it is dissipated in the resistor, because the ideal inductor and capacitor absorb none on average.
