In an a.c. circuit, the reactance of a coil is \(\sqrt{3}\) times its resistance. The phase difference between the voltage across the coil to the current through the coil will be

  1. A \(\tan ^{-1}(0)\)
  2. B \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\tan ^{-1}(1)\)
  4. D \(\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \tan \phi=\frac{x_L}{R} \\ \therefore \quad & \tan \phi=\frac{\sqrt{3} R}{R}=\sqrt{3} \\ \therefore \quad & \phi=\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})\end{aligned}\)
