The given graph shows variation with time in the source voltage and steady state

The given graph shows variation with time in the source voltage and steady state current drawn by a series RLC circuit. Which of the following statements is/are correct? This question has multiple correct options

  • A. Current lags the voltage
  • B. Resistance in the circuit is \( 250 \sqrt{3} \Omega \)
  • C. Reactance in the circuit is \( 250 \Omega \)
  • D. Average power dissipation in the circuit is \( 20 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{w} \)

Step-by-step solution

The graph shows the voltage waveform reaching its peak before the current waveform, which means the current lags the voltage. This is typical for an inductive series RLC circuit.
