Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

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

Question diagram
A

The voltages across the inductor and capacitor are equal in magnitude but opposite in phase.

B

The voltage across the inductor is zero, while the capacitor has maximum voltage.

C

The voltages across the inductor and capacitor are equal and in phase.

D

The voltage across the capacitor is zero, while the inductor has maximum voltage.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

At resonance, the voltages across the inductor and capacitor are equal in magnitude but opposite in phase, thus cancelling each other.
