Physics Question on Alternating current

In an L-C-R series AC circuit at resonance

A

the capacitive reactance is more than the inductive reactance

B

the capacitive reactance equals the inductive reactance

C

the capacitive reactance is less than the inducive reactance

D

the power dissipated is minimum

Answer

the capacitive reactance equals the inductive reactance

Explanation

Solution

At resonance (series resonant circuit) XL=XCX_L = X_C Zmin=R,\Rightarrow Z_{ min} = R, ie, circuit behaves as resistive circuit.
