1

Solution :

The correct option is 1.

Analysis of the Circuit and Phasor Diagram:
The given circuit diagram shows an AC voltage source V connected in parallel with two branches:
1. A capacitive branch consisting of a resistor RC in series with a capacitor C. The current through this branch is denoted as IC.
2. An inductive branch consisting of a resistor RL in series with an inductor L. The current through this branch is denoted as IL.

From the phasor diagram, the reference phasor is the voltage V.
The capacitive current IC leads the voltage V by a phase angle θ1.
The inductive current IL lags the voltage V by a phase angle θ2.

Formulating the Phase Angle Relations:
For the capacitive branch, the phase angle θ1 is given by:
tan θ 1 = X C R C = 1 ω C R C

For the inductive branch, the phase angle θ2 is given by:
tan θ 2 = X L R L = ω L R L

Applying the Phase Condition:
We are given that the sum of the angles is:
θ 1 + θ 2 = 90 °

Taking the tangent on both sides:
tan ( θ 1 + θ 2 ) = tan ( 90 ° ) =

Using the trigonometric identity for the tangent of a sum:
tan θ 1 + tan θ 2 1 - tan θ 1 tan θ 2 =

For the fraction to become infinite, the denominator must equal zero:
1 - tan θ 1 tan θ 2 = 0 tan θ 1 tan θ 2 = 1

Substituting the values of the tangents:
( 1 ω C R C ) × ( ω L R L ) = 1

Simplifying the expression by canceling ω from the numerator and denominator:
L C R C R L = 1 R C × R L = L C

Calculating the Product:
Given component values:
L = 1 μH = 1 × 10 - 6 H
C = 1 μF = 1 × 10 - 6 F

Substituting these values:
R C × R L = 1 × 10 - 6 1 × 10 - 6 = 1

Thus, the nearest integer value of RC×RL is 1.
