Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an RLC circuit, what happens to the impedance when the circuit is at resonance? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what an RLC circuit is. It is a circuit that contains a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C).
  • Step 2: Learn about resonance in an RLC circuit. Resonance occurs when the frequency of the input signal matches the natural frequency of the circuit.
  • Step 3: Know that at resonance, the inductive reactance (XL) and capacitive reactance (XC) cancel each other out. This means XL = XC.
  • Step 4: Realize that when XL and XC cancel, the only impedance left is the resistance (R).
  • Step 5: Conclude that since the impedance is now just the resistance, it is at its minimum value at resonance.
