उत्तर
Let an alternating Emf E = E0 sinωt is applied to a series combination of inductor L, capacitor C and resistance R. Since all three of them are connected in series the current through them is same. But the voltage across each element has a different phase relation with current.

The potential difference VL, VC and VR across L, C and R at any instant is given by
VL = IXL, VC = IXC and VR = IR
Where I is the current at that instant.
XL is inductive reactance and
XC is capacitive reactance.
VR is in phase with I. VL leads I by 90° and VC lags behind I by 90°

In the phases diagram,
VL and VC are opposite to each other. If VL > VC then resultant (VL − VC) is represent by OD. OR represent the resultant of VR and (VL − VC). It is equal to the applied Emf E.
`E^2 = V_R^2 + (V_L -V_C)^2`
`E^2 =I^2 +[R^2+(X_L -X_c)^2]`
`or I =E/sqrt (R^2 + (X_2 -X_c)^2)`
The term `sqrt(R^2 +(X_2 - X_c))` is called impedance Z of the LCR circuit.
`Z = sqrt(R^2 +(X_2 -X_c)^2) =sqrt(R^2 +(L omega-1/(comega))^2)`
Emf leads current by a phase angle Φ
`tan phi = (V_L -V_C)/R = (X_L - X_c)/R =(Lomega -1/(comega))/R`
When resonance takes place
`omegaL= 1/(omegac)`
Impedance of circuit becomes equal to R. Current becomes maximum and is equal to `E/R`

`omega_0 = 1/sqrt(LC)`
`f_0 = omega_0/(2pi) = 1/(2pisqrt(LC))`
This is the condition for resonance.
When at resonance f = f0 the current in the circuit is maximum and hence impedance of the circuit is maximum for values of f less than or greater than f0 comparatively small current flames in the circuit.

Assertion: When the frequency of the AC source in an LCR circuit equals the resonant frequency, the reactance of the circuit is zero, and so there is no current through the inductor or the capacitor.
Reason: The net current in the inductor and capacitor is zero.
