A series \( L C R \) circuit is connected to an ac voltage source. When \( L \) is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage is \( \frac{\pi}{3} \). If instead \( C \) is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) between current and voltage. The power factor of the circuit is:

The correct answer is: \( 1.0 \)

When L removed tanϕ=XCR

When L removed tanϕ=XLR

XCR=XLR Resonance

Z=R

cosϕ=RZ=RR=1
