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