The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided in the context of an LCR series circuit at resonance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the LCR Circuit**: An LCR circuit consists of an inductor (L), a capacitor (C), and a resistor (R) connected in series. The behavior of the circuit changes with frequency, particularly at resonance. 2. **Resonance Condition**: At resonance, the inductive reactance (X_L) equals the capacitive reactance (X_C). This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ X_L = X_C \quad \Rightarrow \quad \omega L = \frac{1}{\omega C} \] where \(\omega\) is the angular frequency. 3. **Impedance at Resonance**: The total impedance (Z) of the circuit at resonance can be calculated as: \[ Z = R \quad \text{(since \(X_L = X_C\) cancels out)} \] 4. **Current Calculation**: The current (I) in the circuit can be calculated using Ohm's law: \[ I = \frac{E}{Z} = \frac{E}{R} \] At resonance, the current is at its maximum because the impedance is minimized (equal to R). 5. **Phase Relationship**: The phase angle (\(\phi\)) between the current and the voltage (e.m.f.) is given by: \[ \tan \phi = \frac{X_L - X_C}{R} \] At resonance, since \(X_L = X_C\), we have: \[ \tan \phi = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \phi = 0 \] This means that the current and e.m.f. are in phase with each other at resonance. 6. **Evaluating the Assertion and Reason**: - **Assertion**: "At resonance, LCR series circuit have a minimum current." - This is **false**; the current is actually at a maximum at resonance. - **Reason**: "At resonance, in LCR series circuit, the current and e.m.f. are not in phase with each other." - This is also **false**; they are in phase at resonance. 7. **Conclusion**: Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false.
