    Power  dissipated in series LCR;

    P = I² R =
    ε ²
    R
    (Z)²

    =
    ε ² R
    [R² + (ωL -(1/ωC))²]

    Where Z = √R² + [ωL -(1 / ωC)]²
    is called the impedance of the circuit.

    q = CV1 cos wt

    ⇒ i =
    dq
    = - ω Cv1 sin ωt
    dt

    Also, ω² =
    1
    and V = V1 cos ωt
    LC

    At t = t1, V = V2 and i = -ω CV1 sinωt1
    ∴ cos ωt1 = V2 (–ve sign gives direction)
    V1


    = {C(V12) - V22) / L}²

    Correct Option: A

    q = CV1 cos wt

    ⇒ i =
    dq
    = - ω Cv1 sin ωt
    dt

    Also, ω² =
    1
    and V = V1 cos ωt
    LC

    At t = t1, V = V2 and i = -ω CV1 sinωt1

    ​As VL = VC = 300 V, resonance will take place ​​
    ∴ VR = 220 V
    Current, I = 220/100 = 2.2A
    ∴ reading of V3 = 220 V ​
    and reading of A = 2.2 A

    Correct Option: B
