The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding the behavior of current and voltage in a series LCR circuit at resonance, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Resonance in LCR Circuit In a series LCR circuit, resonance occurs when the inductive reactance (XL) equals the capacitive reactance (XC). This condition can be mathematically expressed as: \[ \omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC} \] where \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, \( L \) is the inductance, and \( C \) is the capacitance. ### Step 2: Analyze Current at Resonance At resonance, the impedance of the circuit is minimized and is equal to the resistance \( R \) only. This results in the maximum current flowing through the circuit: \[ I = \frac{V}{R} \] where \( V \) is the voltage across the circuit. Therefore, the statement: - **[a] Current is maximum at \( \omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC} \)** is **true**. ### Step 3: Analyze Current Minimum Statement The statement: - **[b] Current is minimum at \( \omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC} \)** is **false** because, as established, the current is maximum at this frequency. ### Step 4: Analyze Voltage Across Resistor At resonance, the voltage across the resistor \( V_R \) is also at its maximum because the entire source voltage appears across the resistor when the circuit is in resonance. Therefore, the statement: - **[c] Voltage across R is maximum at \( \omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC} \)** is **true**. ### Step 5: Analyze Voltage Minimum Statement The statement: - **[d] Voltage across R is minimum at \( \omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC} \)** is **false** as the voltage across the resistor is maximum at resonance. ### Conclusion From the analysis, the correct statements are: - **[a] Current is maximum at \( \omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC} \)** - **[c] Voltage across R is maximum at \( \omega^2 = \frac{1}{LC} \)** Thus, the voltage statement is **true** for options [a] and [c]. ---
