Options
- A3 A
- B6 A
- C12 A
- D9 A
Correct answer
B. 6 A
Step-by-step solution
In this series RLC circuit, the RMS source voltage is the phasor sum of the component voltages: V_ rms = V_R^2 + (V_L - V_C)^2 . Given V_L = V_C = 100 V and V_ rms = 300 V , the expression simplifies to 300 = V_R^2 + 0^2 , yielding V_R = 300 V . The RMS current is then determined from Ohm's law: I_ rms = V_R R = 300 50 = 6 A . Final answer: 6 A
