Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 155

Question: The power factor in a circuit connected to an A.C. The value of power factor is

Options:

A) unity when the circuit contains an ideal inductance only

B) unity when the circuit contains an ideal resistance only

C) zero when the circuit contains an ideal resistance only

D) unity when the circuit contains an ideal capacitance only

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • $ \cos ,\phi =\frac{R}{Z} $ ,

where Z is the impedance & $ Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+{{(X_{L}-X_{C})}^{2}}} $ ,

if there is only resistance then

$ Z=R\Rightarrow \cos ,\phi =1 $
