Physics Alternating Current Statement Based MCQ (Single Correct)

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: When the frequency of an a.c. source in a series circuit increases, the current in the circuit first increases, attains a maximum value and then decreases.
Statement II: In a series circuit, the value of power factor at resonance is one.
In the light of given statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below .

A
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.
B
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
C
Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.
D

The correct answer is:
B

The power factor at resonance is one, hence statement -II is true. When frequency increases, current in the circuit first increases, then attains a maximum value and then decreases.
Thus, as suggested by the graph Statement I is correct.

So, when impedance decreases current increases.
