  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a series resonant circuit, why is the voltage across the inductor much higher than source voltage?

    • A) Current amplification effect
    • B) Stored magnetic energy release
    • C) Impedance ratio amplification
    • D) Phase shift between voltage and current

    Answer: Current amplification effect

    Explanation: Resonance causes current to increase, multiplying inductive voltage (V = I × X_L). Option C confuses impedance relationships.
