Q169 · Physics

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 π3\frac{\pi}{3}. If instead C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again π3\frac{\pi}{3} between current and voltage. The power factor of the circuit is :
