An ac series circuit contains a resistor of 20 ohms, a capacitor of 0.75 microfarads of 120 x 10-3 H. If an effective (rms) voltage of 120 V is applied, what is the effective (rms) current when the circuit is in resonance

Answer:

The effective (rms) current when the circuit is in resonance is 6 A

Explanation:

Given;

resistance of the resistor, R = 20 ohms

capacitance of the capacitor, C = 0.75 microfarads

inductance of the inductor, L =  0.12 H

effective rms voltage, [tex]V_{rms}[/tex] = 120

At resonance, the impedance Z = R, Since the capacitive reactance (Xc) is equal to inductive reactance (XL).

The effective (rms) current, = [tex]V_{rms}[/tex] / R

                                              = 120 / 20

                                              = 6 A

Therefore, the effective (rms) current when the circuit is in resonance is 6 A
