in a series R-L-C circuit at resonance, the voltages across the resistor and the inductor are 30V and 40V respectively, what is the voltage across the capacitor?
A
30V
B
40V
C
50V
D
70V

Correct Option: B
At resonance, inductive reactant XL is equal to the capacitive reactance XC
i.e. XL = XC
and XL = VL/IL
and XC = VC/IC
Again since the components are in series, the same current flows in the series arrangment
i.e. IL = IC
at resonance, VL/IL = VC/IC
∴ VL = VC
= 40V
