Question 238

What is the phase relationship between the current through and the voltage across a series resonant circuit at resonance?

  1. The voltage leads the current by 90 degrees
  2. The current leads the voltage by 90 degrees
  3. The voltage and current are in phaseCorrect answer
  4. The voltage and current are 180 degrees out of phase

Explanation

At resonance the equal inductive and capacitive reactances cancel and the series circuit looks purely resistive. A purely resistive impedance has a phase angle of zero, so current and voltage are in phase.
