In a series LCR A.C. circuit, by keeping resistance constant, power factor can be increased by decreasing .......

Answer»

inductance
capacitance
both (A) and (B)
`|X_L-X_C|`

SOLUTION :We have , power FACTOR,
cos `delta=R/Z`
`therefore cos delta=R/sqrt(R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2)`
`rArr` When we decrease `|X_L-X_C|` , power factor cos`delta` will INCREASE. (That is why when `X_L -X_C = 0` i. when `X_L = X_C` we have resonance in the CIRCUIT which causes MAXIMUM power transfer between source and load due to maximum power factor.
