An AC source of angular frequency ω is fed across a resistor R and a capacitor C in series. The current registered is I. If now the frequency of source is changed to ω/3 (but maintaining the same voltage), the current in the circuit is found to be halved. Calculate the ratio of reactance to resistance at the original frequency.

Detailed Solution
At angular frequency ω, the current in RC circuit is given byIrms=VrmsR2+1ωC2 ….(i)Also, Irms2=VrmsR2+1ωC32=VrmsR2+9ω2C2 …(ii)From equations (i) and (ii), we get3R2=5ω2C2⇒ 1RC=35⇒XCR=35
