Question
In an R-L-C series circuit, at resonance frequency, the voltage across the resistance is:
A.
much lower than applied voltage
B.
equal to applied voltage
C.
function of value of inductance
D.
much higher than applied voltage
Correct option is B
At series resonance frequency, the inductive reactance (XL) is equal to the capacitive reactance (XC):XL=XCThe impedance in an R-L-C series circuit is:Z=R2+(XL−XC)2At resonance:∙XL−XC=0, so:Z=RThe circuit’s impedance becomes purely resistive, and the total applied voltage appears across the resistance.
