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 \(\tan^{-1}\sqrt{3}\). If instead, \(C\) is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again \(\tan^{-1}\sqrt{3}\). The power factor of the circuit is:

1. \(\dfrac{1}{2} \) 2. \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
3. \(1 \) 4. \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

A series \(RC\) circuit is connected to an alternating voltage source. Consider two situations:
(1) When the capacitor is air-filled. 
(2) When the capacitor is mica filled. 
The current through the resistor is \(i\) and the voltage across the capacitor is \(V\) then:
1. \(V_a< V_b\)
2. \(V_a> V_b\)
3. \(i_a>i_b\)
4. \(V_a = V_b\)
