What occurs in an LC circuit at resonance?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Inductive reactance and capacitive reactance cancel
At resonance, inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are equal and opposite, so they cancel. Only resistance remains in the circuit.
Tip: Resonance: XL = XC, they cancel.
