Can the peak voltage across the inductor be greater than the peak voltage of the source in an LCR circuit?
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
**Answer:** Yes.
**Step-by-Step Explanation:**
In an LCR circuit at resonance, the current is . The voltage across the inductor is . If (which is possible for a high-Q circuit), then . The peak voltage across the inductor can exceed the source peak voltage [citation:1][citation:16].
