Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I : An AC circuit undergoes electrical resonance if it contains either a capacitor or an inductor.

Statement II: An AC circuit containing a pure capacitor or a pure inductor consumes high power due to its non-zero power factor. In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

For resonance to occur the condition is $X_{L} = X_{C}$ .
So, both inductor and capacitor is required.
The power factor is given by $cos ϕ$ .
For an inductor the power factor is zero-lagging, $cos 9 0^{\circ} = 0$ . The angle between the voltage and current is $9 0^{\circ}$ .
For a capacitor the power factor is zero-leading.
Hence, both statements are false.
