In a series $\text{RLC}$ circuit that is operating above the resonant frequency, the current.
- ✓
- B
leads the applied voltage
- C
is in phase with the applied voltage
- D
AnswerCapacitive reactance is given by. $\text{X}_\text{C}=\frac{1}{\text{wC}}$
Inductive reactance is given by $\text{X}_\text{L}={\text{wL}}$
At resonance, $\text{X}_\text{L}={\text{X}_\text{C}}\Rightarrow \text{w}\text{L}=\frac{1}{\text{wC}}$
But a frequency higher than resonance frequency, $X_L>X_C$
So the circuit behaves as a inductive circuit at a frequency higher that resonant frequency and the current lags behind the voltage in an inductive circuit.

The power loss is less in transmission lines, when:
- A
Voltage is less but current is more
- B
Both voltage and current are more
- ✓
Voltage is more but current is less
- D
Both voltage and current are less
AnswerCorrect option: C. Voltage is more but current is less
The power cables have some resistance.
Power lost in the wires can be calculated as $P=I^2 R$ with $R$ as the resistance of the wires and $I$ as the current that passes through them.
Power at the load is $P = VI$.
From this one can see that if voltage is increased by say $n$ times, then only $\frac{1}{n}$ the current is required to deliver the same power. However, if $\frac{1}{ n }$ current is passed
on the same wires, only $\frac{1}{ n ^2}$ of the power will be lost.
