Questions  

For an LCR series circuit with an ac source of angular frequency ω  

a
current will be capacitive if ω>1LC
b
Circuit will be inductive if ω=1LC
c
Power factor of circuit will be unity if capacitive reactance equals inductive reactance
d
Current will be leading voltage if ω>1LC

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The circuit will have inductive nature if ω=1LC(ωL>1LC) Hence (a) is false. Also, circuit has inductive nature the current will lag behind voltage. Hence (d) is also false.If ω=1LC(ωL=1ωC) the circuit will have résistance nature. Hence (b) is false.Power factor cosϕ=RR2+(ωL−1ωC)=1 If ωL=1ωC hence (c) is true.
