In which type of circuit the value of power factor will be minimum?(a) Resistive(b) Inductive(c) Superconductive(d) Semi conductiveI have been asked this question in an online quiz.My doubt stems from AC Voltage Applied to an Inductor topic in section Alternating Current of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right answer is (b) Inductive

The EXPLANATION: For a PURELY inductive circuit, Φ = ± \(\FRAC {\pi }{2}\)

Power factor = COS (±\(\frac {\pi }{2}\))

Power factor = 0

Therefore, the power factor will be minimum for an inductive circuit.
