In an LCR series a.c. circuit, the voltage across each of the components, L, C and R is 50 V. The voltage across the LC combination will be
- (A)50 V
- (B) V
- (C)100 V
- (D) V (zero)✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
In a series LCR circuit the voltages across the inductor and the capacitor are exactly out of phase, pulling in opposite senses. When each reads V, the voltage across the L-C pair is their difference, V, so the two cancel completely.
