In an electrical circuit R, L, C and an AC 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 tan−1√3. If instead, C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again tan−1√3. The power factor of the circuit is:
