Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: In an LCR series circuit, current is maximum at resonance.

Statement II: Current in a purely resistive circuit can never be less than that in a series LCR circuit when connected to same voltage source.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct from the options given below:               [2024]

1 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  
2 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  
3 Both Statement I and Statement II are false  
4 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  

Ans.

(4)       

           Statement-I

            Im=VmR2+(XL-XC)2, at resonance XL=XC

            Thus, Im=VmR

             Impendence is minimum therefore I is maximum at resonance.

            Statement-II

            I=(VR) in purely resistive circuit.
