In a series R-L-C AC circuit, for a particular value of R, L and C, power supplied by the source is P at resonance. If the  value of inductance is halved, then the power from the source again at resonance is P'. Then

(1) P = P'2

(2) P = 2P'

(3) P = 4P'

(4) P = P'

Resonance occurs in a series L-C-R circuit when the frequency of the applied e.m.f. is 1000 Hz. Then:

1.  when f=900 Hz, the circuit behaves as a capacitive circuit

2.  the impendence of the circuit is maximum at f=1000 Hz

3.  at resonance the voltages across L and current in C differ in phase by 180°

4.  if the value of C is doubled resonance occurs at f=2000 Hz
