Define the term power factor. What is the value of power factor for a pure resistor, pure inductor and pure capacitor? |
| Answer» Solution :The power FACTOR is defined as the cosine of the ANGLE between the CURRENT and the applied voltage. For a pure capacitor and INDUCTOR, `theta=90^(@)` and HENCE the power factor is zero. For a pure resistor, `theta=0^(@)` and hence the power factory is one. | |
