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

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3}/2$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • D
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
