For a series L-C-R circuit at resonance, which statement is not true?
Options
- AWattless current is zero.
- BPower factor is zero.
- CPeak energy stored by a capacitor = peak energy stored by an inductor.
- DAverage power = Apparent power.
Correct answer
B. Power factor is zero.
Step-by-step solution
In L-C R series resonance circuit, X_ L_ L =X_ C Impedance, Z= R²+ (X_ L -X_ C )² - R²+0² Z=R Power factor, cos = n Z = R R =1 Which is not zero. Since, circuit behaves like a resistive circuit. So , power loss occurs always in this circuits. i.e, wattless carrent is zero.
