In the A. C. circuit given below, an inductor, capacitor, and resistor ( R = 110 ) are in series with a 220 V , 50 Hz source. Voltmeters V₁ (across the inductor) and V₂ (across the capacitor) read 100 V each. Find the reading of the voltmeter V₃ (across the resistor) and the ammeter A.
Options
- A110 V, 2 A
- B220 V, 1 A
- C220 V, 2 A
- D110 V, 4 A
Correct answer
C. 220 V, 2 A
Step-by-step solution
V_L = V_C = 100 V, so they cancel (circuit is at resonance). V = V_R^2 + (V_L - V_C)^2 = V_R^2 + 0 220 = V_R V₃ = 220 V At resonance, Z = R = 110 I = V_R R = 220 110 = 2 A
