In the circuit shown, L=1μH,C=1μF and R=1kΩ. They are connected in series with an a.c. source V=V0sinωt as shown. Which of the following options is/are correct?
(A)The current will be in phase with the voltage if ω=104rad.s−1
(B)The frequency at which the current will be in phase with the voltage is independent of R✓ Correct
(C)At ω∼0 the current flowing through the circuit becomes nearly zero✓ Correct
(D)At ω≫106rad.s−1, the circuit behaves like a capacitor
Answer: (B), (C)
Solution
For an LCR series circuit, the current is in phase with the voltage at resonance, when ωL=ωC1, giving ω=LC1=10−6×10−61=106 rad/s. This resonance frequency is independent of R, confirming option (B). At ω=104 rad/s, the circuit is not at resonance, so option (A) is incorrect. At ω∼0, the capacitive reactance XC=ωC1→∞, making the impedance very large and the current nearly zero, confirming option (C). At ω≫106 rad/s, the inductive reactance XL=ωL dominates, so the circuit behaves like an inductor, not a capacitor, making option (D) incorrect.
