Question:

In the circuit shown here, the voltage across E and C are respectively 300 V and 400 V. The voltage E of the ac source is :

Show Hint

In a series LC circuit, the inductor and capacitor voltages are in opposite phase, so the source voltage is the magnitude of their difference.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The circuit is a series L-C circuit with an ac source (no resistance).
Current is common; \(V_L\) leads the current by \(90^\circ\) and \(V_C\) lags it by \(90^\circ\), so \(V_L\) and \(V_C\) are \(180^\circ\) out of phase.
The given voltages are 300 V and 400 V (taken as the voltages across L and C).
\(E = |V_C - V_L| = 400 - 300 = 100\ \mathrm{V}\).
Answer: (3) 100 Volt
