$A$ resistor $R$, an inductor $L$, and a capacitor $C$ are connected in series with an a.c. source. When $L$ is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between voltage and 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

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