A parallel combination of pure inductor and capacitor is connected across a source of alternating e.m.f. 'e'. The currents flowing through an inductor and capacitor are i_ L and i_ C respectively. In this parallel resonant circuit, the condition for currents i , i_ L and i_ C is ( i= net r .m.s. current in the circuit)
Options
- Ai 0, i_ L =i_ C 0
- Bi 0, i_ L =i_ C =0
- Ci i_ L =i_ C
- Di 0, i_ L i_ C
Correct answer
A. i 0, i_ L =i_ C 0
Step-by-step solution
In parallel resonant circuit, the capacitive and inductive reactance are equal, hence currents are equal but 180^ out of phase with each other. The net current is zero. i =0, i ₂= i _ c 0
