Given below are two statements:
Statement I : An AC circuit undergoes electrical resonance if it contains either a capacitor or an inductor.
Statement II : An AC circuit containing a pure capacitor or a pure inductor consumes high power due to its
non-zero power factor.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer form the options given below:
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
B. Statement I is true but statement II is false
C. Statement I is false but statement II is true
D. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Correct Option is (A)
Statement I: An AC circuit undergoes electrical resonance if it contains either a capacitor or an
inductor.
This statement is incorrect. Electrical resonance occurs in an AC circuit when the capacitive
reactance and inductive reactance are equal, causing the impedance of the circuit to be minimum.
This typically happens in a series RLC circuit or a parallel RLC circuit. If the circuit
contains only a capacitor or an inductor, it cannot undergo electrical resonance as there is no
counterpart reactance to balance the impedance.
Statement II: An AC circuit containing a pure capacitor or a pure inductor consumes high power
due to its non-zero power factor.
This statement is also incorrect. An AC circuit containing a pure capacitor or a pure inductor
will have a power factor of 0, not a non-zero power factor. The power factor of a capacitor is
-1, and the power factor of an inductor is +1, but when only considering the reactive
components, the power factor is 0. In such a circuit, no real power is consumed, and the circuit
only has reactive power. The energy is alternately stored and released by the capacitor and
inductor, but no energy is dissipated as heat or used to perform work.
As both statements are incorrect, the correct answer would be an option that states both
statements are false.

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : When the frequency of an a.c source in a series LCR circuit increases, the current in the
circuit first increases, attains a maximum value and then decreases.
Statement II : In a series LCR circuit, the value of power factor at resonance is one.
In the light of given statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are False.
B. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.
C. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
D. Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.
Correct Option is (C)
Statement I is true because in a series LCR circuit, the current first increases as the
frequency increases, reaching a maximum value when the circuit is at resonance. At resonance,
the inductive reactance (XL) and capacitive reactance (XC) cancel each other out, resulting in
the lowest impedance (Z) and the highest current. As the frequency continues to increase beyond
resonance, the current in the circuit decreases.
Statement II is also true because, at resonance in a series LCR circuit, the inductive
reactance (XL) and capacitive reactance (XC) are equal and cancel each other out. This results
in the impedance (Z) being purely resistive. The power factor at resonance is given by the
cosine of the phase angle (θ), and since the phase angle is 0° at resonance, the power factor is
1.
Thus, both statements are true, and the correct answer is Both Statement I and Statement II are
true.

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Maximum power is dissipated in a circuit containing an inductor, a capacitor and a resistor
connected in series with an AC source, when resonance occurs
Statement II : Maximum power is dissipated in a circuit containing pure resistor due to zero phase difference
between current and voltage.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
D. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Correct Option is (D)
In a series LCR circuit connected to an AC source, resonance occurs at a particular frequency at
which the inductive reactance is equal to the capacitive reactance, resulting in the minimum
impedance of the circuit. At this frequency, the circuit draws maximum current from the source,
and thus, the maximum power is dissipated in the circuit. Therefore, Statement I is true.
In a circuit containing only a resistor, the power dissipated is given by P = VI =
IR, where V is the voltage across the
resistor, I is the current flowing through the resistor, and R is the resistance of the
resistor. The voltage and current are in phase in a purely resistive circuit, which means that
the power is maximized. Therefore, Statement II is also true.

A series combination of resistor of resistance , inductor of inductance and capacitor of capacitance is connected to an ac source. The quality factor of the
circuit will be __________
Correct Answer is (4)
The Q factor (quality factor) in a series RLC circuit can be given by the formula:
where () is the inductive reactance, (R) is the
resistance, (L) is the inductance, and () is the angular frequency.
In a series RLC circuit at resonance, the resonant frequency (f) is given by
or equivalently, the angular frequency () at resonance is
Substituting (L = 1H) and () into the equation for (\omega) gives
= 400 rad/s
Substituting (), (L = 1H), and () into the equation for the Q factor gives
So, the Q factor of the circuit is 4.
