When a capacitor is connected in series LR circuit, the alternating current flowing in the circuit

  1. A is zero.
  2. B remains constant.
  3. C increases.
  4. D decreases.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) increases.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Impedance in LR circuit,
\(\mathrm{Z}=\sqrt{\mathrm{R}^2+\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{L}}{ }^2}\)
Impedance in LCR circuit,
\(Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_L-X_C\right)^2}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) When capacitor is connected in series, \(Z\) decreases.
\(I=\frac{V}{Z} \Rightarrow I \propto \frac{1}{Z}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) When Z decreases, I increases.
