Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The applied rms voltage equal to algebric sum of the rms voltages across the series elements of the circuit.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a series AC circuit (like an LCR circuit), the voltages across the resistor, inductor, and capacitor are not in phase. Therefore, the total applied RMS voltage is the phasor (vector) sum-specifically \(V=\sqrt{V_R^2+\left(V_L-V_C\right)^2}\)-rather than a simple algebraic…
