NEET Physics RLC Circuits MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about RLC circuits is correct?
In a series RLC circuit, the current reaches maximum amplitude at the natural frequency.
The energy stored in the capacitor and inductor remains constant at all times during oscillation.
Resonance occurs when the impedance of the circuit is at its maximum.
The phase difference between current and voltage is always zero at resonance.
Correct Answer
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.
