Resonance, Bandwidth & Q Factor

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: An AC circuit undergoes electrical resonance if it contains either a capacitor or an inductor.

Statement II: An AC circuit containing a pure capacitor or a pure inductor consumes high power due to its non-zero power factor.

In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer form the options given below:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Statement I: resonance needs both LL and CC so that XL=XCX_L = X_C; one of them alone cannot resonate. False.
  2. Statement II: for pure LL or pure CC, ϕ=90∘\phi = 90^\circ, power factor cos⁡ϕ=0\cos\phi = 0, so average power is zero. False.
  3. So the answer is (a) both statements are false.
