SUMMARY
The average power in an RLC circuit at resonance is determined by the relationship between inductance (L) and capacitance (C). The resonance frequency, denoted as \( f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}} \), is where the circuit's impedance is minimized, resulting in maximum average power transfer. At this frequency, the average power is at its maximum due to the circuit's ability to efficiently transfer energy between the inductor and capacitor.
