What happens in series resonance?

The properties of a series alternating-current L-R-C circuit at resonance are:the only opposition to current flow is resistance of the circuitthe current flowing through the circuit is maximumthe voltage across the resistive component of the circuit is equal to the supply voltagethe individual voltages across the inductive and capacitive components of the circuit are equal, but act in the opposite sense to each otherthe voltage appearing across both the inductive and capacitive components of the circuit is zeroif the resistance is low, then the individual voltages appearing across the inductive and capacitive components of the circuit may be significantly higher than the supply voltage


When a parallel LC circuit is tuned to resonance will the current be at a maximum or a minimum?

Inside the circuit loop between the inductor and capacitor the current will be at maximum. Outside the circuit the current through the LC tank circuit will be at minimum. It depends on where you are measuring it.


What is the current in a coupling circuit for high frequencies?

Maximum.


Rupturing capacity of a circuit breaker?

the maximum short current that can be safely break by the circuit breaker.


Does the current reach its maximum peak value at the same instant time in as does the voltage?

Yes if the power factor is unity.Additional AnswerOnly if the load is purely resistive. For a resistive-inductive (R-L) load, the current will reach its maximum value after the voltage reaches its maximum value, and we say the current is 'lagging the voltage'. For a resistive-capacitive (R-C) load, the current will reach its maximum value before the voltage reaches its maximum value, and we say the current is 'leading the voltage'.The angle of lag or lead is called the circuit's 'phase angle' and the cosine of that angle is termed the circuit's 'power factor'. So, for a purely-resistive circuit, the phase angle is zero and the power factor is 1 ('unit'). For R-L circuits, the power factor is less than 1, and is described as 'lagging'. For R-C circuits, the power factor is also less than 1, and is described as 'leading'.

Why current is maximum in series resonance circuit?

Because the only opposition to current flow is the resistance of the circuit. This is because, at resonance, the vector sum of the inductive and capacitive reactances is zero.


When voltage and current in a circuit do not reach their maximum amplitude and zero level simutaneously?

This means there is a reactive component, either inductive or capacitive, to the load.


How do you calculate inductive time constant?

The inductive time constant (L/R) is calculated by dividing the inductance of the inductor (L) by the resistance of the circuit (R). It represents the time it takes for the current in the circuit to reach approximately 63.2% of its maximum value during the charging or discharging of the inductor.
