A resistor R , an inductor L , a capacitor C and voltmeters V 1 , V 2 and V 3 are connected to an oscillator in the circuit as shown in the adjoining diagram. When the frequency of the oscillation is increased, then at the resonant frequency, the voltmeter reading is zero in the case of
Options
- Avoltmeter V 1 only
- Bvoltmeter V 2 only
- Cvoltmeter V 3 only
- DAll the three voltmeters
Correct answer
B. voltmeter V 2 only
Step-by-step solution
At resonance, X L = X C or ω L = 1 ω C Voltage across the series L - C combination, V 2 = i X L - X C = 0
