    An inductance of \[\left( \frac{200}{\pi } \right)\] mH, a capacitance of \[\left( \frac{{{10}^{-3}}}{\pi } \right)\]F and a resistance of 100 are connected in series with an AC source 220 V, 50 Hz. The phase angle of the circuit is

    A) \[\frac{\pi }{6}\]                                              

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]                                              

    D) \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The phase angle\[(\theta )\]between\[I\]and\[V\]is given by \[\tan \theta =\frac{{{X}_{L}}-{{X}_{C}}}{R}\]                        ...(i) where, \[{{X}_{L}}=2\pi fL\]                 \[=2\pi \times 50\times \left[ \frac{200}{\pi }\times {{10}^{-3}} \right]\]                 \[=20\,\Omega \]                 \[{{X}_{C}}=\frac{1}{2\pi fC}\]                 \[=\frac{1\times \pi }{2\pi \times 50\times {{10}^{-3}}}\]                 \[=10\,\Omega \] and        \[R=10\,\Omega \] Substituting values of\[{{X}_{L}},{{X}_{C}}\]and R in Eq. (i), we get \[\tan \theta =\frac{20-10}{10}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan \theta =\tan \frac{\pi }{4}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\theta =\frac{\pi }{4}\] The phase angle of the circuit is\[\frac{\pi }{4}\].
