  1. In LCR circuit: $\tan\varphi= \frac{\text{X}_{L} - \text{X}_{c}}{\text{R}} = \frac{\text{wL} - \frac{1}{\text{wC}}}{\text{R}}$
Now $\text{X}_{L} = \text{wL} = ( 1000\times100\times10^{-3})\Omega$
$= 100\Omega$
and $\text{X}_{c} = \frac{1}{\text{wc}} = \bigg(\frac{1}{100\times2\times10^{-6}}\bigg)\Omega$
$\therefore\text{X}_{c} = 500 \Omega$
$\therefore\tan\varphi = \frac{500 - 100}{400} = 1 $
$\tan\varphi = 1 $
$\varphi = 45^{o}$
  1. Power Factor:
When power factor = 1, we have $X_L=X_C$
$\therefore\text{X'}_{c} = \frac{1}{\omega\text{C}'} = 100 \Omega$
This gives $\text{C'} = \frac{1}{100\omega} = 10 \mu\text{F}$
We, therefore, need to add a capacitor of capacitance (10-2) μF = 8μF in parallel with the given capacitor.
Alternate Answer
Let addition capacitance $C_1$ be connected:
$\text{X}'_{c} = \frac{1}{1000(2 + \text{C}_{1})\times10^{-6}}$
$\therefore100 = \frac{1}{1000(2 + \text{C}_{1})\times10^{-6}}$
$\therefore2 + \text{C}_{1} = 10 $
$\text{C}_{1} = 8 \mu\text{F}$.

    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.
