  • A
    $\frac{R}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $R$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}R$
  • D

When an inductor $L$ and a resistor $R$ in series are connected across a $15 \, V, 50 \, Hz$ a.c. supply, a current of $0.3 \, A$ flows in the circuit. The current differs in phase from the applied voltage by $(\frac{\pi}{3})^c$. The value of $R$ is:
$(\sin \frac{\pi}{6} = \cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2}, \sin \frac{\pi}{3} = \cos \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$

$A$ series combination of resistor $R$ and capacitor $C$ is connected to an $A$.$C$. source of angular frequency $\omega$. Keeping the voltage same,if the frequency is changed to $\frac{\omega}{3}$,the current becomes half of the original current. Then the ratio of capacitive reactance and resistance at the former frequency is

$A$ circuit when connected to an $A.C.$ source of $12 \; V$ gives a current of $0.2 \; A$. The same circuit when connected to a $D.C.$ source of $12 \; V$,gives a current of $0.4 \; A$. The circuit is
