    In a circuit, L, C and R are connected in series with an alternating voltage source of frequency f. The current leads the voltage by \[{{45}^{o}}\]. The value of C is:                                                                                           [AIPMT (S) 2005]

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2\pi f\,(2\pi fL+R)}\]

    B)       \[\frac{1}{\pi f\,(2\pi fL+R)}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2\pi f\,(2\pi fL-R)}\]

    D)       \[\frac{1}{\pi f\,(2\pi fL-R)}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\tan \phi =\frac{\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}}{R}\]
                \[\phi \] being the angle by which the current leads the voltage.
                Given,   \[\phi ={{45}^{o}}\]
                \[\therefore \]      \[\tan {{45}^{o}}=\frac{\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}}{R}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[1=\frac{\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}}{R}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[R=\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega L}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\omega C=\frac{1}{(\omega L-R)}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[C=\frac{1}{\omega (\omega L-R)}=\frac{1}{2\pi f\,(2\pi fL-R)}\]
    Note:    In series resonance L-C-R circuit, \[\frac{1}{\omega CR}\] is greater than unity.
