NEET Physics Resonance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about resonance in an RLC circuit is correct?

A

Resonance occurs when the circuit is tuned to the frequency of the AC source, maximizing current amplitude.

B

Resonance can occur in both RL and RC circuits without the need for an inductor or capacitor.

C

The sharper the resonance, the wider the range of frequencies at which the circuit can operate effectively.

D

At resonance, the voltages across the inductor and capacitor do not cancel each other out, leading to high impedance.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Resonance in an RLC circuit occurs when the circuit is tuned to the frequency of the AC source, resulting in maximum current amplitude, as both L and C are present to allow their voltages to cancel each other and the current to be maximized.
