In the case of a series LCR AC circuit, what is the power factor if (i) the resistance is far greater than the reactance (ii) the resistance is far less than the reactance?

Answer»

Power factor, cos Φ = \(\cfrac R{\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}}\)

(i) For R >> (XL – XC), cos Φ ≅ 1 

(ii) For R >> (XL – Xe), cos Φ ≅ zero.
