In an inductive circuit, when the XL value increases, the circuit power factor?(a) Increases(b) Decreases(c) Remains the same(d) Becomes zeroI got this question during an online exam.My question is from Inductive and Non-Inductive Circuits topic in portion Inductance in a DC Circuit of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) Decreases

Easy explanation: tan ϕ = XL/RandPower FACTOR=COS ϕ

As XL increases, tan ϕ increases, ϕ increases, cos ϕ decreases and hence POWER factor decreases.
