NEET Physics Resonance MCQ Question
Consider a series RLC circuit at resonance. Which of the following statements is true about the voltage across the inductor and capacitor?

The voltages across the inductor and capacitor are equal in magnitude but opposite in phase.
The voltage across the inductor is zero, while the capacitor has maximum voltage.
The voltages across the inductor and capacitor are equal and in phase.
The voltage across the capacitor is zero, while the inductor has maximum voltage.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
At resonance, the voltages across the inductor and capacitor are equal in magnitude but opposite in phase, thus cancelling each other.
