← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when resonant frequency matching causes extreme current in a series RLC circuit under sustained high voltage?
A)Component overheating and potential failure✓
B)Improved power factor at the source
C)Reduced reactive power consumption overall
D)Enhanced harmonic filtering capabilities
💡 Explanation
Component overheating and failure results during resonance because impedance minimizes allowing very high currents defined by Ohm's law through the circuit elements; therefore, heat rises rapidly, and destructive thermal limits will breach, rather than filtering benefits or improving power factor that happens during properly managed resonance.
