$A$ choke coil is preferred to a $Rheostat$ in $AC$ circuits because:

  • A
    It consumes almost zero power
  • B
    It increases current
  • C
    It increases power
  • D
    It increases voltage

In an electrical circuit,$R, L, C$ and an $a.c.$ voltage source are all connected in series. When $L$ is removed from the circuit,the phase difference between the voltage and the current in the circuit is $\pi /3$. If instead,$C$ is removed from the circuit,the phase difference is again $\pi /3$. The power factor of the circuit is
