A series LCR circuit is connected to an AC source of voltage v and angular frequency `Omega`. When only the capacitor is removed the current lags behind the voltage by a phase angle `'phi'` and when only the inductor is removed the current leads the voltage by the same phase angle. Find the current flowing and the average power dissipated in the LCR circuit.

`tan phi = (X_(L) - X_(C)) = (omegaL - 91)/((omega C)/(R ))`
when capacitor is removed
`tan phi = (omega L)/(R )`
when inductor is removed
`tan phi = ((-1)/(omega C))/(R )`
-ve sign indicates that current leads the voltage
`:. omega L = (1)/(omega C)`
`omega = (1)/(sqrt(LC))`
`rArr LCR` circuit is in resonance,
`i_(rms) = (V_(rms))/(R )`
`P_(av) = V_(rms)i_(rms)`
`= V_(rms)^(2)//R`
