An ac circuit has an inductor and a resistor of resistance \({R}\) in series, such that \({X}_{{L}}=3 {R}\). Now, a capacitor is added in series such that \({X}_{{C}}=2 {R}\). The ratio of new power factor with the old power factor of the circuit is \(\sqrt{5}: {x}\). The value of \({x}\) is ...... .
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\cos \phi=\frac{{R}}{\sqrt{{R}^{2}+3 {R}^{2}}}\)
\(=\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\)
\(\cos \phi^{\prime}=\frac{{R}}{\sqrt{{R}^{2}+{R}^{2}}}\)
\(=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
\(\frac{\cos \phi^{\prime}}{\cos \phi}=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{1}\)
\(\therefore {x}=1\)
