In a pure inductive circuit, the power factor is __________(a) Maximum(b) Minimum(c) 0(d) InfinityThis question was addressed to me in unit test.This key question is from Inductive and Non-Inductive Circuits topic in chapter Inductance in a DC Circuit of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (C) 0

Explanation: 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 current is 90, then cos90=0. Hence, the power factor is zero.
