Since the power factor $\varphi=1$ it means the phase difference between voltage and the current is zero.
This is possible when
$\text{wL}=\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}$
$\omega^2=\frac{1}{\text{LC}}\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{\text{LC}}}=35.58\text{Hz}$
Current Amplitude, $\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}_{\text{eff}}}{\text{Z}}=\frac{\text{V}_{\text{eff}}}{\text{R}}=\frac{100}{10}=10\text{A}$ $(\therefore\text{Z = R})$

Write two important considerations used while fabricating a Zener diode. Explain, with the help of a circuit diagram, the principle and working of a Zener diode as voltage regulator.
Figure shows a typical circuit for a low-pass filter. An AC input $V_{i}= 10mV$ is applied at the left end and the output $V_0$ is received at the right end. Find the output voltage for ν = 10kHz, 1.0MHz and 10.0MHz. Note that as the frequency is increased the output decreases and, hence, the name low-pass filter.
