In LCR series ac circuit at, resonance, the value of power factor will be ______________ .

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B 1
  3. C -1
  4. D \(\infty\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) 1
Impedance \(Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(X_{C}-X_{L}\right)^{2}}\)
At resonance \(X_{C}=X_{L}\)
\(\therefore \quad Z=R\)
Power factor \(\cos \phi=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{Z}}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \cos \phi=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{R}} \\
& \cos \phi=1
\end{aligned}
