b) 90 degrees
c) 180 degrees
d) 360 degrees
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: In a series RLC circuit, the phase difference
between the current in the capacitor and the current in the
resistor is 0 degrees because the same current flows in the
capacitor as well as the resistor.

2. In a series RLC circuit, the phase difference between the


current in the inductor and the current in the resistor is?
a) 0 degrees
