series 
B
series 
C
series 
D
series 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
When circuit is connected to an AC source of 12 V, gives a current of 0.2 A.
Impedance, 
When the same circuit is connected to a DC source of 12 V, gives a current of 0.4 A.
Resistance, 
As, power factor, 
, i. e., current lags behind the 
So, we can conclude that the circuit is a series
