Power factor has a unit of Watts.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me during an online exam.This interesting question is from Power in AC Circuit : The Power Factor in division Alternating Current of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) False

The explanation: No, this statement is false. Power factor is also DEFINED as the ratio of the resistance to the IMPEDANCE of an AC CIRCUIT. Impedance is the effective resistance of an electric circuit or component to ALTERNATING current. So, both are resistance quantities. Therefore, the ratio between them will be 1, and hence power factor is a UNIT less and dimensionless quantity.
