The inductance L, Capacitance C and resistance R are the values of the components connected in series to an ac source of angular frequency \(\omega\). The inductive and capacitive reactances are \(X_L\) and \(X_C\) respectively. If the circuit is purely resistive, then

  1. A \(\mathrm{L}=\mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(X_L=X_C\)
  3. C \(\omega \mathrm{L}=\omega \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{R}=\mathrm{L}=\mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(X_L=X_C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The impedance of an RLC series circuit is \(Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}\). For a purely resistive circuit, \(Z=R\). \(R=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}\) \(R^2=R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2\) \(0=(X_L-X_C)^2\) \(X_L=X_C\)
