Given information

Given an LRC circuit and asked if the rms voltage across a capacitor can be greater than the rms voltage of the ac source.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
The rms voltages across a capacitor of an LRC circuit can be greater than the rms source voltage because the different voltages are out of phase with each other. At any given instant, the voltage across the capacitor could be negative, for example, thus allowing for a very large positive voltage on the other device. The rms voltages will always be positive.
