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 $\frac{\pi}{3}$. If instead $C$ is removed from the circuit,the phase difference is again $\frac{\pi}{3}$. The power factor of the circuit is $(\tan \frac{\pi}{3} = \sqrt{3})$.

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $1$
