Series LCR at resonance: impedance is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Series LCR at resonance: impedance is:
A. Minimum (=R)
B. Zero
C. Maximum
D. Infinite
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Resonance: X_L = X_C ⇒ they cancel ⇒ Z = R (minimum). Current maximum at resonance. Memory tip: 'Series resonance: Z_min = R; parallel: Z_max'. AC circuit concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
A body of mass 5 kg moving with velocity 2 m/s collides with a stationary body of mass 3 kg and sticks to it. Combined velocity is
A. 1.25 m/s
B. 2 m/s
C. 0.8 m/s
D. 5 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Momentum before = 5×2=10, after = (5+3)v => v=10/8=1.25 m/s.

Question #2
An ammeter is always connected in
A. Across supply
B. Either series or parallel
C. Series with circuit
D. Parallel with circuit

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ammeter measures current, must be in series so full current flows through it. Low internal resistance to minimize voltage drop. Voltmeter measures potential difference, connected in parallel, high resistance.

Question #3
Which of the following physical quantities has the same dimensional formula as that of pressure?
A. Power per unit volume
B. Momentum per unit area
C. Force per unit length
D. Energy per unit volume

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Pressure has dimensions [ML⁻¹T⁻²]. Energy per unit volume: Energy is [ML²T⁻²], volume is [L³], so [ML²T⁻²]/[L³] = [ML⁻¹T⁻²], matching pressure. Force per unit length is [MLT⁻²]/[L] = [MT⁻²]. Momentum per unit area is [MLT⁻¹]/[L²] = [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]. Power per unit volume is [ML²T⁻³]/[L³] = [ML⁻¹T⁻³]. This dimensional equivalence explains why pressure appears in Bernoulli's equation alongside energy density. Memory aid: Pressure and energy density both represent stored energy per spatial dimension.
