In an LCR series circuit, at resonance,

Options

  1. Athe voltage across R is zero.
  2. Bthe voltage across R equals to applied voltage.
  3. Cthe voltage across C is zero.
  4. Dthe voltage across C equals applied voltage.

Correct answer

B. the voltage across R equals to applied voltage.

Step-by-step solution

In an LCR series circuit, the total applied voltage VV is given by V=VR2+(VL−VC)2V = \sqrt{V_R^2 + (V_L - V_C)^2}.

At resonance, the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance (X_L = X_C),whichimpliesthevoltageacrosstheinductorequalsthevoltageacrossthecapacitor(VL=VC), which implies the voltage across the inductor equals the voltage across the capacitor (V_L = V_C).

Substituting VL=VCV_L = V_C in the voltage equation, we get V=VR2+0=VRV = \sqrt{V_R^2 + 0} = V_R.

Thus, the voltage across the resistor RR is equal to the applied voltage.

Answer: the voltage across R equals to applied voltage.
