COMEDK2023PhysicsAlternating Current
In an electrical circuit R, L, C and 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 / 3 . If instead C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again / 3 . The power factor of the circuit is
Options
- A1 / 2
- B1 2
- C1
- D3 2
Correct answer
C. 1
Step-by-step solution
Here, phase difference = X_L-X_C R 3 = X_L-X_C R When L is removed, 3 = X_C R = 3 Similarly, when C is removed aligned 3 & = X_L R = 3 X_L & = 3 R aligned array lc Now, & =0 & =0^ array Power factor, = 0^ =1
