Question
In a series LCR circuit, obtain the condition under which the impedance of the circuit is minimum ?
Solution
(i) The impedance of a series LCR circuit is given by
\[Z = \sqrt{R^2 + \left( \omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C} \right)^2}\]
Z will be minimum when \[\omega L = \frac{1}{\omega C}\]
i.e., when the circuit is under resonance. Hence, for this condition, Z will be minimum and will be equal to R.
