Question
In an electrical circuit R, L, C and an a.c voltage source are all connected in series. When L is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between the voltage and the current in the circuit is π/3. If instead, C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again π/3. The power factor of thecircuit is
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.1
Solution
Circuit is at resonance
xL = xC
⇒ cos φ = 1
xL = xC⇒ cos φ = 1
