Question
A sinusoidal voltage V(t) = 200sin(ωt) is applied to a series RLC circuit with L = 10.0mH, C = 100nF and R = 20.0Ω. Find the amplitude of the voltage across the inductor at the resonant frequency.
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
At resonance, Z = R, so I_max = V/R = 200/20 = 10A. X_L at resonance = √(L/C) = √(0.01/1×10⁻⁷) ≈ 316.2Ω, giving V_L = I×X_L ≈ 3.16×10³V.
Hint
At resonance, current amplitude is simply V/R; then multiply by X_L to get the inductor voltage.
