An ac source of angular frequency

\omega

is fed across a resistor

r

and a capacitor

C

in series. The current in the circuit measured is

l

. If now the frequency of source is changed to

\omega / 3

(but maintaining the same voltage), the current in the circuit is found to reduce by a factor of three. The power factor of the circuit at the original frequency

\omega

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Zero

Option C (Zero) is correct because the resistance R is found to be zero, leading to a power factor of zero in the circuit.

. The average power dissipated in original L-C-R circuit is Assertion (A) : In series

L-C \cdot R, \mathrm{AC}

circuit, current and voltage are in same phase at resonance.

Reason (R) : In series

L-C-R, \mathrm{AC}

circuit, resonant frequency does not depend on the value of resistance. Hence, current at resonance does not depend on resistance. A series

L-C-R

circuit is connected to an

\mathrm{AC}

voltage source. When

L

is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage is

\frac{\pi}{4}

. If instead

C

is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again

\frac{\pi}{4}

between current and voltage. The power factor of the circuit is A capacitor in an ideal LC circuit is fully charged by a DC source. Then it is disconnected from DC source, the current in the circuit
