A circuit consists of a resistor \( R \), an inductor \( L \), and a capacitor \( C \) connected in series with an AC voltage source \( V(t) = V_0 \sin(\omega t) \). The phase difference between the current \( I(t) \) and the applied voltage \( V(t) \) across the entire circuit is \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) radians. If the impedance \( Z \) of the circuit is \( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + \left( \omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C} \right)^2} \), determine the resonance condition of the circuit.


A. \( \omega L = \frac{1}{\omega C} \)

B. \( \omega L = 2\frac{1}{\omega C} \)

C. \( \omega L = \frac{1}{2\omega C} \)

D. \( \omega L = 4\frac{1}{\omega C} \)

Given:

- Components: Resistor \( R \), inductor \( L \), capacitor \( C \) in series.

- AC voltage source: \( V(t) = V_0 \sin(\omega t) \).

- Phase difference between current and voltage: \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{4} \).

- Impedance: \( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + \left( \omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C} \right)^2} \).


At resonance, the inductive reactance \( \omega L \) equals the capacitive reactance \( \frac{1}{\omega C} \). This makes the net reactance zero, and the impedance of the circuit is purely resistive, minimizing the overall impedance and maximizing the current.

The condition for resonance in a series RLC circuit is:

\[ \omega L = \frac{1}{\omega C} \]

This means that the inductive reactance \( \omega L \) should exactly cancel out the capacitive reactance \( \frac{1}{\omega C} \).

To check this with respect to the phase difference:

1. Calculate \( \tan(\phi) \):

   Since the phase difference \( \phi \) is \( \frac{\pi}{4} \):

   \[ \phi = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C}}{R} \right) \]

2. Using the phase difference \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{4} \):

   \[ \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 \]

   Thus,

   \[ 1 = \frac{\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C}}{R} \]

3. Simplifying the equation:

   Since \( \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) = 1 \),

   \[ R = \omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C} \]


For resonance, the reactances should be equal:

\[ \omega L = \frac{1}{\omega C} \]


Thus, the correct condition for resonance is:

A. \( \omega L = \frac{1}{\omega C} \)

So, the correct answer is A. \( \omega L = \frac{1}{\omega C} \).
