In a series $LR$ circuit,$X_{L} = R$ and the power factor of the circuit is $P_{1}$. When a capacitor with capacitance $C$ such that $X_{L} = X_{C}$ is put in series,the power factor becomes $P_{2}$. The ratio $\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$ is

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