Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The r.m.s. current in circuit (B) can never be greater than that in circuit (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As the impedance of the circuit (B) is clearly more than that of circuit (A), the current in the circuit (B) will always be less than that in circuit (A). Also, at resonance, \(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{L}}=\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}\) and the impedance of circuit \((B), Z_B=Z_A . \Rightarrow I_B=I_A\). Hence, the option (A) is the only correct option.
