A series combination of an inductor of self-inductance L, capacitor of capacitance C and resistor R is connected to an alternating voltage source of V=V_0sinomegat . The current through the circuit is I=I_0sin(omegat-theta) ,where I_0=V_0/(sqrt(R^2+(omega-1/(omegaC))^2)) and theta=tan^-1 ""1/R(omegaL-1/(omegaC)) . Now that, the frequency of both voltage and current is f=omega/(2pi) . The rms value of these parameters during one complete cycles are V_(rms)=V_0/sqrt2 and I_(rms)=I_0/sqrt2 respectively. These values are shown in alternating voltmeter and ammeter. The power consumed by the circuit P=VI.
