Options:
  • A $\frac{1}{\pi f(2 \pi f(L-R)}$
  • B $\frac{1}{2 \pi f(2 \pi f L-R)}$
  • C $\frac{1}{\pi f(2 \pi f L+R)}$
  • D $\frac{1}{2 \pi f(2 \pi f L+R)}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{2 \pi f(2 \pi f L+R)}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\tan \phi & =\frac{X_C-X_L}{R} \\
\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & =\frac{\frac{1}{\omega C}-\omega L}{R} \\
\Rightarrow \quad R & =\frac{1}{\omega C}-\omega L \\
(R+2 \pi f L) & =\frac{2}{2 \pi f C} \\
C & =\frac{1}{2 \pi f(R+2 \pi f L)}
\end{aligned}
$$
