Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect At resonance, the impedance of the circuit is reduced to the minimum of Z=RΩ, by definition, as reactance of inductor and capacitor are equal in magnitude. Hence the current is the circuit is maximum , (Irms=VrmsZ=VrmsR). Therefore the power consumed (=I2rmsR) is maximum during resonance. Assertion is right but reason is incorrect.
