MCQ
The resultant reactance in an $L - C - R$ circuit is.
  • A
    $X _{ L }+ X _{ C }$
  • $X _{ L }- x _{ C }$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\text{X}^2_\text{L}+\text{X}^2_\text{C}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\text{X}^2_\text{L}-\text{X}^2_\text{C}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$X _{ L }- x _{ C }$

Reactance is the nonresistive component of impedance in an $AC$ circuit, arising from the effect of inductance or capacitance or both and causing the current to be out of phase with the electromotive force causing it.
Therefore, reactance of the $L - C - R$ circuit is $X _{ L }- x _{ C }$
