Define power factor ?

In an electrical circuit, R, I, C and AC voltage source are all connected in series. When L is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between the voltage and current in the circuit, is (pi)/(3). Instead, if C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again (pi)/(3). The power factor of the circuit is
