2. First decreases, than becomes zero at a particular frequency, then increases

When frequency is less
1
 L
C
As frequency increases, capacitive reactance decreases but inductive reactance increases. So phase
difference decreases.

Then L becomes greater than .
C
Now as frequency increases, the magnitude of phase difference again increases.

8. (C) V 2 = VR2 + (VL - VC )2

Since VL = VC hence V = VR = 200 V

9. (C) V 2 = VR2 + (VL - VC )2 Þ VR = V = 220V

Also i = = 2.2 A

10. (D) The voltage VL and VC are equal and opposite so voltmeter reading will be zero.
Also R = 30W, XL = XC = 25W
