Options:
  • A If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • B If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D If both assertion and reason are false.

The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are false.
At resonance $X_L=X_C$ or $\omega L=\frac{1}{\omega C}$.
Because of this impedance of $L C R$ series
circuit become equal to resistance of circuit
$\left(Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_L-X_C\right)^2}\right)$.
Therefore from $I=\frac{E}{Z}=\frac{E}{R}$, at resonance, current in LCR series circuit is maximum. Correspondingly phase angle is also equal to zero. Therefore emf and current are in phase in $L C R$ series circuit.
