A constant voltage source supplies a sinusoidal alternating e.m.f. The voltage marked against the components are their peak values. Determine the peak value of the applied e.m.f
1V
4V
5V
2V
Maelezo
Effective voltage in an RLC circuit is given by V = \(\sqrt{V_R^2 + (V_L - V_C)^2}\)
V = \(\sqrt{3^2 + (6 - 2)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}\) = \(\sqrt{9 + 16}\)
= 5V
