AIPMT PRELIMS 2012 Physics Resonance in AC Circuits MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
In an electrical circuit R, L, C and an a.c voltage source are all connected in series. When L is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between the voltage and the current in the circuit is π/3. If instead, C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again π/3. The power factor of the circuit is
A
B
C
D
1
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The circuit is at resonance when either L or C is removed, leading to a power factor of 1, as the phase difference between voltage and current is zero.
