Problem

A 30 Ω30\,\Omega resistor, 0.10 H0.10\,\text{H} inductor and 50 μF50\,\mu\text{F} capacitor are connected in series to a sinusoidal source of fixed rms voltage. If the supply frequency is doubled from 50 Hz50\,\text{Hz} to 100 Hz100\,\text{Hz}, the approximate power factor of the circuit at 100 Hz100\,\text{Hz} is (a) 0.70  (leading)0.70\; (\text{leading}) (b) 0.70  (lagging)0.70\; (\text{lagging}) (c) 0.50  (lagging)0.50\; (\text{lagging}) (d) 0.86  (lagging)0.86\; (\text{lagging})
