    For a series LCR circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage at the condition of resonance will be:

    A)  \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]                                             

    B)         \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C)         zero                                     

    D)         nothing can be said

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In a series LCR circuit, potential difference leads the current by an angle \[\text{o }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }\](let). \[\text{o }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{X}_{L}}-{{X}_{C}}}{R} \right)\]                 or            \[\text{o }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}}{R} \right)\] At resonance, \[{{X}_{L}}={{X}_{C}},\]i.e., \[\omega L=\frac{1}{\omega C}\] Hence,     \[\text{o}|={{\tan }^{-1}}(0)=0\] Therefore, phase difference between current and voltage at resonance is zero.
