    The power factor of a series L-C-R circuit where at resonance is:

    A)  zero

    B)  0.5

    C)  1.0

    D)  depends on values of L,C and R

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: At resonance voltage and current are in phase. Average power of circuit is giver; as:- \[P={{E}_{rms}}\times {{i}_{rms}}\times \cos \phi .\] where \[{{E}_{rms}}\] and \[{{i}_{rms}}\]are root mean square value of voltage and current and \[\cos \phi \] is power factor. In a series L-C-R circuit at resonance voltage and current being in same phase hence \[\phi =0\]. Therefore, power factor \[=\cos \phi \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\cos \,{{0}^{o}}=1\]
