The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the LCR series circuit with an AC source of angular frequency \( \omega \), we will analyze each of the given options step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the condition for a capacitive circuit - The circuit will be capacitive if the capacitive reactance \( X_C \) is greater than the inductive reactance \( X_L \). - Mathematically, this can be expressed as: \[ X_C > X_L \implies \frac{1}{\omega C} > \omega L \] - Rearranging this inequality gives: \[ \omega < \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \] - Therefore, the first option is correct: **The circuit will be capacitive if \( \omega < \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \)**. ### Step 2: Analyze the condition for an inductive circuit - The circuit will be inductive if the inductive reactance \( X_L \) is greater than the capacitive reactance \( X_C \). - This can be expressed as: \[ X_L > X_C \implies \omega L > \frac{1}{\omega C} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \omega > \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \] - Therefore, the second option is correct: **The circuit will be inductive if \( \omega > \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \)**. ### Step 3: Analyze the condition for power factor - The power factor \( \cos \phi \) is defined as: \[ \cos \phi = \frac{R}{Z} \] - The power factor is unity when the impedance \( Z \) is equal to the resistance \( R \), which occurs when: \[ Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_C - X_L)^2} = R \] - Squaring both sides gives: \[ R^2 + (X_C - X_L)^2 = R^2 \implies (X_C - X_L)^2 = 0 \implies X_C = X_L \] - Therefore, the third option is correct: **The power factor of a circuit will be unity if \( X_C = X_L \)**. ### Step 4: Analyze the condition for leading voltage - The circuit will have a leading voltage if the capacitive reactance \( X_C \) is greater than the inductive reactance \( X_L \). - This is the same condition we analyzed in Step 1: \[ X_C > X_L \implies \frac{1}{\omega C} > \omega L \implies \omega < \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \] - Therefore, the fourth option is incorrect: **The circuit will be leading if \( \omega < \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \)**, not \( \omega > \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \). ### Conclusion After analyzing all four options, we find that: - **Correct Options**: A, B, and C - **Incorrect Option**: D ### Final Answer The correct answer is that options A, B, and C are correct. ---
