Answer:
Correct Answer: 33. (d)
Solution:
- (d) At resonance,
. The circuit behaves as if it contains only. So, phase difference
At resonance, impedance is minimum
It is interesting to note that before resonance the current leads the applied emf, at resonance it is in phase, and after resonance it lags behind the emf. LCR series circuit is also called as acceptor circuit and parallel LCR circuit is called rejector circuit.
