Given below are two statements: Statement I: Maximum power is...
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Maximum power is dissipated in a circuit containing an inductor, a capacitor and a resistor connected in series with an source, when resonance occurs.
Statement II: Maximum power is dissipated in a circuit containing pure resistor due to zero phase difference between current and voltage.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AStatement is false but Statement is true
- BBoth Statement and Statement are true
- CStatement is true but Statement is false
- DBoth Statement and Statement are false
Correct answer
B. Both Statement and Statement are true
Step-by-step solution
The formula for impedance is given by
At resonance, . So, {Z}_\min = R
Power will be maximum when impedance is minimum. Thus the maximum power occurs in a purely resistive circuit.
