A series LCR circuit is connected to an ac voltage source. When L is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage is . If instead C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again between current and voltage. The power factor of the circuit is :

Answer: (C)

Solution

Removing L or C gives the same phase magnitude, so (resonance); .
