Explanation

**At resonance** V_L = I X_L = I X_C = V_C, may be larger than source voltage Q times, Q-factor = ω₀ L/R =1/(ω₀ C R)= V_L/V = V_C/V, measures sharpness, higher Q sharper resonance, bandwidth Δω = R/L = ω₀/Q, resonant frequency independent of R. RMS current: I = (V/R) = (200/100) = 2 A . Peak current: i_m = √(2) I = 1.414 × 2 ≈ 2.828 A . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z = √(R² + (X_L - X_C)²), I_rms = V_rms/Z, P = V_rms I_rms cosφ, V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p, calculation gives 2.828 A, consistent with phasor analysis and resonance condition X_L = X_C.
