In a series LCR circuit an ac voltage source is connected. When inductor is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between the voltage and the current in the circuit is \( \frac{\pi}{3} \). If capacitor is removed from the circuit instead of inductor, the phase difference is again \( \frac{\pi}{3} \). What is the power factor of the circuit?

  1. A \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \)
  2. B \( \frac{1}{2} \)
  3. C \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \)
  4. D 1

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When inductor is removed: \(\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{X_C}{R} \) When capacitor is removed: \(\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{X_L}{R} \) Therefore, \(X_L = X_C \) Power factor…
