    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 \[45{}^\circ \]. The value of C is

    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,   \[\phi ={{45}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\tan {{45}^{o}}=\frac{\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}}{R}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                 \[1=\frac{\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}}{R}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[R=\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[C=\frac{1}{\omega (\omega L-R)}\]                     \[=\frac{1}{2\pi f(2\pi fL-R)}\] Note: In series\[L\cdot C\cdot R\]circuit,\[\frac{1}{\omega CR}\]is greater than unity.
