Correct answer: C

  1. Series LCR circuit current

For a series LCR circuit, the current amplitude is

I=VZI = \frac{V}{Z}I=ZV​

where the impedance is

Z=R2+(ωL−1ωC)2.Z = \sqrt{R^2 + \left(\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C}\right)^2 }.Z=R2+(ωL−ωC1​)2​.

The current is maximum at resonance frequency ωr\omega_rωr​, where

ωrL=1ωrC.\omega_r L = \frac{1}{\omega_r C}.ωr​L=ωr​C1​.
  1. Nature of circuit to the left of resonance

To the left of ωr\omega_rωr​, we have ω<ωr\omega < \omega_rω<ωr​.

Then:

  • inductive reactance: XL=ωLX_L = \omega LXL​=ωL is smaller,
  • capacitive reactance: XC=1ωCX_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}XC​=ωC1​ is larger.

So,

XC>XLX_C > X_LXC​>XL​

which means the net reactance

X=XL−XC<0.X = X_L - X_C < 0.X=XL​−XC​<0.

Hence the circuit behaves mainly capacitive.

So:

  • (a) True
  • (b) False

  1. Impedance at resonance

At ω=ωr\omega = \omega_rω=ωr​,

ωrL=1ωrC\omega_r L = \frac{1}{\omega_r C}ωr​L=ωr​C1​

so the reactances cancel.

Thus,

Z=R2+02=R.Z = \sqrt{R^2 + 0^2} = R.Z=R2+02​=R.

Therefore:

  • (c) True
  • (d) False

Impedance is minimum at resonance, but it is equal to RRR, not zero.


  1. Correct combination

The correct statements are:

(a) and (c)(a) \text{ and } (c)(a) and (c)

So the correct option is

C\boxed{\text{C}}C​
