    The power factor of an R-L circuit is\[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]. If the frequency of AC is doubled, what will be the power factor?

    A) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]                 

    B) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\]   

    C) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}}\]                 

    D) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{11}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Power factor, \[\operatorname{Cos}\phi =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{R}{{{R}^{2}}+{{\omega }^{2}}{{L}^{2}}}\] Squaring both sides \[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{R}{{{R}^{2}}+{{\omega }^{2}}{{L}^{2}}}\] \[2{{R}^{2}}={{R}^{2}}+{{\omega }^{2}}{{L}^{2}}\] \[R=\omega L\] When \[\omega \] is double Power factor \[\operatorname{Cos}\phi =\frac{R}{\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+4{{\omega }^{2}}{{L}^{2}}}}=\frac{R}{\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+4{{\operatorname{R}}^{2}}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\]
