Question #1
Series LCR at resonance: impedance is:
A. Zero
B. Maximum
C. Infinite
D. Minimum (=R)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
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.
