In a series LCR circuit, the voltage drop across the resistance is 8 V , across the inductor is 6 V and across the capacitor is 12 V . Then,
Options
- Athe voltage of the source will be leading the current in the circuit
- Bthe voltage drop across each element will be less than the applied voltage
- Cthe power factor of the circuit will be 4 3
- Dnone of these
Correct answer
D. none of these
Step-by-step solution
Since, cos ϕ = R Z = I R I Z = 8 10 = 4 5 (Also cos ϕ can never be greater than 1 ) Hence, (c) is wrong Also I X C > I X L ⇒ X C > X L ∴ Current will be leading. In an LCR circuit, V = V L - V C 2 + V R 2 = 6 - 12 2 + 8 2 V = 10 V , which is less than the voltage drop across the capacitor.
