  1. Question 1

    Q1. When a resistor, inductor, and capacitor are connected in series in an AC circuit, what type of resonance occurs due to the phase difference between voltage and current?

    • A) Mechanical resonance resulting from the physical motion of the circuit components
    • B) Acoustic resonance resulting from the sound waves produced by the circuit
    • C) Electrical resonance resulting from the impedance and phase difference between voltage and current
    • D) Optical resonance resulting from the electromagnetic waves produced by the circuit

    Answer: Electrical resonance resulting from the impedance and phase difference between voltage and current

    Explanation: Electrical resonance occurs due to the impedance and phase difference between voltage and current, unlike mechanical, acoustic, or optical resonance.
