CONCEPT:

  • The ac circuit containing the capacitorresistor, and inductor is called an LCR circuit.
  • For a series LCR circuit, the total potential difference of the circuit is given by:

Where VR = potential difference across R, VL =  potential difference across L and VC =  potential difference across C

  • For a series LCR circuitImpedance (Z) of the circuit is given by:


Where R = resistance, XL =induvtive reactance and XC = capacitive reactive

EXPLANATION :

  • Resonance of an LCR circuit is the frequency at which capacitive reactance is equal to the inductive reactance, Xc = XL, then the value of impedance is given by

\(\Rightarrow Z = \sqrt {{R^2} + {{\left( {{X_L} - {X_C}} \right)}^2}} \)

  • At resonance, the value of impedance is purely resistive. Hence, option 1 is the answer
