The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the condition under which the current lags behind the voltage in a series RLC circuit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Circuit Behavior**: In a series RLC circuit, the voltage across the inductor (L) and capacitor (C) can cause the current to either lead or lag behind the voltage supplied by the oscillator. 2. **Identify Reactances**: - The reactance of the inductor (X_L) is given by \( X_L = \omega L \), where \( \omega = 2\pi \nu \) (with \( \nu \) being the frequency). - The reactance of the capacitor (X_C) is given by \( X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \). 3. **Condition for Current Lagging**: The current lags behind the voltage when the reactance of the inductor is greater than the reactance of the capacitor: \[ X_L > X_C \] Substituting the expressions for reactance: \[ \omega L > \frac{1}{\omega C} \] 4. **Manipulate the Inequality**: Multiplying both sides by \( \omega C \) (assuming \( \omega \) and \( C \) are positive): \[ \omega^2 L C > 1 \] 5. **Rearranging the Terms**: This can be rearranged to: \[ \omega^2 > \frac{1}{LC} \] 6. **Taking the Square Root**: Taking the square root of both sides gives: \[ \omega > \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \] 7. **Substituting for Frequency**: Since \( \omega = 2\pi \nu \), we can substitute this into the inequality: \[ 2\pi \nu > \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \] 8. **Final Condition**: Dividing both sides by \( 2\pi \): \[ \nu > \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}} \] 9. **Relating to Resonant Frequency**: The resonant frequency \( \nu_r \) of the circuit is given by: \[ \nu_r = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}} \] Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \nu > \nu_r \] ### Conclusion: The current lags behind the voltage when the frequency \( \nu \) is greater than the resonant frequency \( \nu_r \).
