NEET Physics RLC Circuits MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

Which of the following statements about RLC circuits is correct?

A

In a series RLC circuit, the current reaches maximum amplitude at the natural frequency.

B

The energy stored in the capacitor and inductor remains constant at all times during oscillation.

C

Resonance occurs when the impedance of the circuit is at its maximum.

D

The phase difference between current and voltage is always zero at resonance.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

At resonance in a series RLC circuit, the current indeed reaches its maximum amplitude when driven at the natural frequency, as the circuit exhibits a tendency to oscillate at this frequency. Other options contain misconceptions about energy conservation and phase relationships.
