$A$ resistor and a capacitor are connected in series with an $AC$ source of angular frequency $\omega$. If the frequency is changed to $\omega / 3$ while keeping the voltage constant,the current becomes half. What is the ratio of the reactance to the resistance at the initial frequency?

  • A
    $\sqrt{3/5}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2/5}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{1/5}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{4/5}$

An $AC$ source of angular frequency $\omega$ is connected across a resistor $R$ and a capacitor $C$ in series. The current registered is $I$. If the frequency of the source is changed to $\omega/3$ (maintaining the same voltage),the current in the circuit is found to be halved. Calculate the ratio of reactance to resistance at the original frequency $\omega$.
