Explanation

**Resonance in LCR** occurs when X_L = X_C, ω₀ =1/√(LC), f₀=1/(2π√(LC)), impedance Z=R minimum, current maximum I₀=V/R, circuit behaves as if only resistance because inductive and capacitive voltages equal opposite cancel, net reactance zero, phase φ=0°, power factor 1, current in phase with voltage. Z = √(R² + (X_L - X_C)²) . Z = √(60² + (50 - 30)²) = √(3600 + 400) = √(4000) ≈ 63.25 Ω . 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 62 Ω, consistent with phasor analysis and resonance condition X_L = X_C.
