In a pure inductive circuit, the power factor is?(a) Maximum(b) Minimum(c) 0(d) InfinityI got this question during an online exam.This question is from Growth in an Inductive Circuit in division Inductance in a DC Circuit of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (C) 0

For explanation I would say: In a PURE inductive circuit, the current is lagging by 90 degrees from the voltage. The POWER FACTOR is the cosine of the angle between the voltage and the current. If the angle between the voltage and the current is 90, then cos90=0. Hence, the power factor is zero.
