In a series, L-C-R circuit
Options
- Athe voltage leads the current if X_L < X_C
- Bthe voltage leads the current if X_L>X_C
- Cthe voltage and current are in phase
- Dthe current leads the voltage if X_L>X_C
Correct answer
B. the voltage leads the current if X_L>X_C
Step-by-step solution
Phasor diagram of L-C-R series circuit is shown in the following figure, For phasor diagram, it is clear that if V_L>V_C , then voltage V leads angle from current. where, = ⁻¹ ( V_L-V_C V_R )= ⁻¹ ( X_L-X_C R ) Hence, voltage leads the current with angle , when V_L>V_C I X_L>I X_C X_L>X_C
