Solution
The correct option is D when VR is maximum Since resonant frequency, f=12π√LC is being applied, current from the variable AC source will be maximum when potential across resistor is maximum, because VR=iR and R is fixed.
Thus when VR is maximum, we can measure the value of inductance without requiring an ammeter.
