An ac source of angular frequency \omega is fed across a resistor R and a capacitor C in series. The current registered is I. If now the frequency of source is changed to\frac{\omega }{3}(but maintaining the same voltage), the current in the circuit is found to be halved.The ratio of reactance to resistance at the original frequency \omega will be

According to given Problem

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & I=\frac{V}{Z}=V /\left[R^2+\left(1 / C \omega^2\right)\right]^{1 / 2} \\ & \text { and } \frac{1}{2}=\frac{V}{\left[R^2+(3 / \mathrm{C} \omega)^2\right]^2} \\ & \end{aligned}}-----------(1) & (2)

Substituting the value of I from equation (1) in (2), 

\mathrm{4\left(R^2+\frac{1}{C^2 \omega^2}\right)=R^2+\frac{9}{C^2 \omega^2} \quad \text { i.e., } \frac{1}{C^2 \omega^2}=\frac{3}{5} R^2}

So that \mathrm{\frac{X}{R}=\frac{(1 / C \omega)}{R}=\frac{\left[(3 / 5) R^2\right]^{1 / 2}}{R}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}}
