An arc lamp consumes `10 A` at `40 V`. Calculate the power factor when it is connected with a suitable value of choke coil required to run the arc lamp on `AC` mains of `200 V ("rms")` and `50 Hz`.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`R=V/I=40/10=4Omega`
`Z=V/I=200/10=20Omega`
Power factor, `cosphi=R/Z=4/20`
`=0.2`
