JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 18th March Evening Shift - No. 4)

In a series LCR circuit, the inductive reactance (XL) is 10$$\Omega$$ and the capacitive reactance (XC) is 4$$\Omega$$. The resistance (R) in the circuit is 6$$\Omega$$. The power factor of the circuit is :
$${1 \over 2}$$
$${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$$
$${1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$
$${1 \over {2\sqrt 2 }}$$

Explanation

Given :

XL = 10$$\Omega$$

XC = 4$$\Omega$$

R = 6$$\Omega$$

$$ \therefore $$ Power factor = cos$$\theta$$ = $${R \over Z}$$

$$ = {R \over {\sqrt {{R^2} + {{({X_L} - {X_C})}^2}} }}$$

$$ = {6 \over {\sqrt {{6^2} + {{(10 - 4)}^2}} }}$$

$$ = {6 \over {6\sqrt 2 }} = {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$
