    For the LCR circuit, shown here, the current is observed to lead the applied voltage. An additional capacitor C', when joined with the capacitor C present in the circuit, makes the power factor of the circuit unity. The capacitor C', must have been connected in:                        [JEE MAIN 11-04-2015]

    A) series with C and has a magnitude\[\frac{1-{{\omega }^{2}}LC}{{{\omega }^{2}}L}.\]

    B) series with C and has a magnitude\[\frac{C}{({{\omega }^{2}}LC-1)}.\]

    C) parallel with C and has a magnitude\[\frac{C}{({{\omega }^{2}}LC-1)}.\]

    D)  parallel with C and has a magnitude\[\frac{1-{{\omega }^{2}}LC}{{{\omega }^{2}}L}.\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] As current leads voltage thus
    Since power factor has to be made ‘I’
    \[\therefore \]Effective capacitance has to be increased thus connecting in parallel.
    \[\because \]\[\cos \phi =1\]                                  \[\therefore \]\[\phi =0\]
    \[i\omega L=\frac{i}{\omega \left( C+C' \right)}\]  \[\therefore C+C'=\frac{1}{{{\omega }^{2}}L}\]AO I\[\therefore \]\[C'=\frac{1}{{{\omega }^{2}}L}-C\]
