In a series RC circuit, R = 30 ohm, C = 0.25 mu F, V = 100 V, omega = 10000 rad//s . Find the current in the circuit and calculate the voltage across the resistor and capacitor. Is the algebraic sum of these voltages more than the source voltage ? If yes, resolve the paradox.

Direction. In the follwing questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. While answering a question, you are required to choose the correct are out of the given four responses and mark it as (A). If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, (B) if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion. (C) if asssertion is true, but reason if false, (D) if both assertion and reason are false Assertion : In a LCR-circuit, the algebraic sum of the potential drops across the circuit elements is always equal to the applied mains voltage. Reason : The potential drop across the resistane is equal to the sum of the potential drops across the inductor and capacitor.
