Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) parallel with \(C\) and has a magnitude \(\,\frac{{\left( {1 - {\omega ^2}LC} \right)}}{{{\omega ^2}L}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Power factor

\(\cos \phi=\frac{R}{\sqrt{R^{2}+\left[\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega\left(C+C^{\prime}\right)}\right]^{2}}}=1\)

On solving we get,

\(\omega L=\frac{1}{\omega\left(C+C^{\prime}\right)}\)

\(C' = \frac{{1 - {\omega ^2}LC}}{{{\omega ^2}L}}\)

Hence option \((c)\) is the correct answer.
