  1. A \(V_0 R \omega C\)
  2. B \(\frac{V_0}{R \omega C}\)
  3. C \(\frac{V_0}{2 R \omega C}\)
  4. D \(\frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2} R \omega C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{V_0}{2 R \omega C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} = \sqrt{R^2 + R^2} = R\sqrt{2}\) \(I_{rms} = \frac{V_{rms}}{Z} = \frac{V_0/\sqrt{2}}{R\sqrt{2}} = \frac{V_0}{2R}\)
