Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an RLC series circuit, what happens to the impedance at resonance? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand what an RLC series circuit is. It consists of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C) connected in series.
  • Step 2: Know what resonance means. Resonance occurs when the frequency of the source matches the natural frequency of the circuit.
  • Step 3: At resonance, the inductive reactance (XL) and capacitive reactance (XC) cancel each other out. This means XL = XC.
  • Step 4: Since XL and XC cancel each other, the total impedance (Z) of the circuit is only affected by the resistance (R).
  • Step 5: Therefore, at resonance, the impedance (Z) is equal to the resistance (R) of the circuit.
