  1. Question 1

    Q1. A physicist is studying the behavior of an RL circuit. She observes that the energy stored in the capacitor is maximum when the inductor is at its minimum value. What is the likely reason for this phenomenon?

    • A) Conservation of energy
    • B) Inductive coupling
    • C) Oscillatory behavior
    • D) Circuits resonance

    Answer: Circuits resonance

    Explanation: In an RL circuit, energy is transferred between the inductor and capacitor at resonance, resulting in a phase difference.
