Q.

For the given figure, choose the correct options:                   [2023]

1 The rms current in circuit (b) can never be larger than that in (a).  
2 The rms current in figure (a) is always equal to that in figure (b).  
3 The rms current in circuit (b) can be larger than that in (a).  
4 At resonance, current in (b) is less than that in (a).  

Ans.

(1)

Imax=22040=5.5 A

XL is not equal to XC. So rms current in (b) can never be larger than (a).
