Given below are two statements :

Statement I: In an LCR series circuit, current is maximum at resonance.

Statement II : Current in a purely resistive circuit can never be less than that in a series LCR circuit when connected to same voltage source.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct from the options given below :
  1. (A)Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. (B)Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  3. (C)Both Statement I and Statement II are true✓ Correct
  4. (D)Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Answer: (C)

Solution

Statement I: In a series LCR circuit is minimum () at resonance (), so is maximum. True.
Statement II: For the same source, a purely resistive circuit has impedance , the smallest possible, so its current can never be less than the current in the series LCR circuit. True.
Both statements are true.
