One or more options correct
A series circuit has a resistor , an ideal inductor and a capacitor , connected to a source of fixed rms voltage and variable angular frequency . The resonant angular frequency is . Which of the following statements is/are correct?
- A. At the current lags behind the source voltage.
- B. The average power at is about half of the average power at resonance.
- C. The average power dissipated at is greater than that at .
- D. At resonance the rms voltage across the inductor is .
Show answer and solution
Answer: D
Resonance occurs at , where , so and the power is . At the inductor voltage is , so (D) is correct. At : , , net reactance , so the circuit is capacitive and the current leads the voltage; (A) is wrong. Then , and , only about of the resonant power, so (B) is wrong. At the reactances are and , net , so and are exactly the same as at ; (C) is wrong. Correct option: D only.
