Series LCR Circuit

An alternating voltage is applied to a series LCR circuit. If the current leads the voltage by 45∘45^\circ, then (tan⁡45∘=1)(\tan 45^\circ = 1)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Current leads, so the circuit is capacitive: tan⁡45∘=XC−XLR=1\tan 45^\circ = \dfrac{X_C - X_L}{R} = 1.
  2. XC−XL=R⇒XL=XC−RX_C - X_L = R \Rightarrow X_L = X_C - R
  3. So the answer is (a) XL=XC−RX_L = X_C - R.
