Case: Read the passage and answer accordingly

An LCR circuit, also known as a resonant circuit, tuned circuit, or an RLC circuit, is an electrical circuit consisting of an inductor (L), capacitor (C) and resistor (R) connected in series or parallel. The LCR circuit analysis can be understood better in terms of phasors. A phasor is a rotating quantity. The quality factor is defined as the ratio of the voltage drop across the inductor or capacitor to that of applied voltage. It measures the sharpness of resonance of an LCR circuit.

When resonance takes place in LCR circuit?
Options:
Inductance is higher than reactance
Reactance is higher than inductance
Inductance and capacitive reactance are equal and opposite.
None of the above
Correct Answer:
Inductance and capacitive reactance are equal and opposite.
Explanation:
Resonance can take place if inductive and capacitive reactance are equal and opposite.
