(ii) The current at the resonating frequency.
(iii) The rms potential drop across the capacitor at resonance.
Solution
Given a series LCR circuit,
i) At resonance, angular frequency is given by,
ii) Current at resonating frequency is given by,
iii) RMS potential drop across the capacitor at resonance is given by,
