The potential energy of a particle in a force field is \(U=\dfrac{A}{r^2}-\dfrac{B}{r}\) where \(A\) and \(B\) are positive constants and \(r\) is the distance of the particle from the centre of the field. For stable equilibrium, the distance of the particle is:
1. \(\dfrac{B}{A}\) 2. \(\dfrac{B}{2A}\)
3. \(\dfrac{2A}{B}\) 4. \(\dfrac{A}{B}\)

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