9 mA

92.The series and parallel resonance on L-C circuit’ differs in that

  1. series resistance needs a low-resistance source for sharp rise in current
  2. series resonance needs a high-resistance source for sharp increase in current
  3. parallel resonance needs a low-resistance source for a sharp in¬crease in impedance
  4. parallel resonance needs a low-resistance source for a sharp rise in line current

Correct answer: (A)
series resistance needs a low-resistance source for sharp rise in current
