In a series RLC circuit driven by an AC source v(t)=Vmsin⁡ωtv(t)=V_m\sin\omega t, which one of the following gives the correct expression for the peak current amplitude ImI_m? (a) Im=VmR2+(ωL+1ωC)2I_m = \dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(\omega L+\dfrac{1}{\omega C}\right)^{2}}} (b) Im=VmR2+(ωL−1ωC)2I_m = \dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(\omega L-\dfrac{1}{\omega C}\right)^{2}}} (c) Im=VmR+∣ ωL−1ωC ∣I_m = \dfrac{V_m}{R+\left|\,\omega L-\dfrac{1}{\omega C}\,\right|} (d) Im=VmR2+(ωL)2+(1ωC)2I_m = \dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(\omega L\right)^{2}+\left(\dfrac{1}{\omega C}\right)^{2}}}
