  1. I

    At resonance, the circuit is resistive with zero power factor and the current, voltage are in phase. Mention either the statement is correct or incorrect.

    Free sample

    Answer: Incorrect

    Explanation

    At resonance, the circuit is indeed purely resistive and the current and voltage are in phase. However, because the phase angle is 0, the power factor is cos⁡(0∘)=1\cos(0^\circ) = 1 (unity power factor), not zero.
