Assertion : At resonance, series circuit have a minimum current.
Reason : At resonance, in LCR series circuit, the current and e.m.f are not in phase with each other.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
At resonance X_L=X_C or .
Because of this impedance of series
circuit become equal to resistance of circuit
\left(Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_L-X_C\right)^2}\right)I=, at resonance, current in LCR series circuit is maximum. Correspondingly phase angle is also equal to zero. Therefore emf and current are in phase in L C R series circuit.
