For I to be maximum in a circuit, the reactance should be minimum.  In the LCR circuit, if the frequency is increased, the inductance will increase while the capacitance decreases.

Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left ( X_L-X_C \right )^2}=\sqrt{R^2+\left ( 2\pi \nu L-\frac{1}{2\pi \nu C} \right )^2}

On increasing v, there will come a stage where we will reach resonance

\left ( X_L=X_C \right )
