Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

An LCR circuit contains resistance of 110$\Omega$ and a supply of 220 V at 300 rad/s angular frequency. If only capacitance is removed from the circuit, current lags behind the voltage by 45$^\circ$. If on the other hand, only inductor is removed the current leads by 45$^\circ$ with the applied voltage. The rms current flowing in the circuit will be :

  1. A 1 A
  2. B 2.5 A
  3. C 2 A Correct answer
  4. D 1.5 A

Solution

Since $\phi$ remain same, circuit is in resonance<br><br>$\therefore$ ${I_{rms}} = {{{v_{rms}}} \over z}$ = ${{{v_{rms}}} \over R}$<br><br>$= {{220} \over {110}}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ ${I_{rms}} = 2A$ <br><br>
