A series RLC circuit is connected to an ac generator. The instant at which current in the circuit is zero, the energy stored in the capacitor and inductor are:

Options

A. zero in both
B. maximum in both
C. zero & maximum respectively
D. maximum & zero respectively

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the energy stored in both the capacitor and the inductor in a series RLC circuit when the current is zero.

### Step 1: Understanding the Circuit
In a series RLC circuit connected to an AC generator, the current varies sinusoidally with time. The energy stored in the capacitor and inductor can be expressed in terms of charge and current, respectively.

### Step 2: Current is Zero
The problem states that the current in the circuit is zero. This occurs at specific instances in the AC cycle, particularly when the capacitor is fully charged and the inductor is not storing any energy (since energy in the inductor is related to the current).
