so if you measure across the inductor and capacitor you get 0v and if you measure across the capacitor and the resistor you get 100v and if you measure across all 3 you get 100v..... i do understand now if this is correct
Yep. The voltages cancel because the reactances cancel.
Note that VL and VC don't have to equal VR to cancel. VL and VC just have to be equal in magnitude.
thanks Roff for all the help and patience and i really do understand now hopefully i can proceed in my studies,,, i really do THANK YOU you have been a tremendous help to me
Yes it is a series circuit but you are ignoring the phase of each component, the inductor is leading by 90 degrees and the capacitor is lagging by 90 degrees, at resonance they cancel out. 100V + 100V - 100 V = 100V, not 300V.

Your wrong.
did you not read Roff's post?
