NEET Physics RLC Circuits MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a series RLC circuit driven by an AC source. The circuit includes a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C). If the circuit is at resonance, what is the relation between the inductive reactance (X_L) and the capacitive reactance (X_C)?

Question diagram
A

X_L = X_C

B

X_L > X_C

C

X_L < X_C

D

X_L = 2X_C

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

At resonance in a series RLC circuit, the inductive reactance (X_L) is equal to the capacitive reactance (X_C), resulting in the impedance being purely resistive.
