1.	What is the effect of capacitance on wattmeter reading?(a) aiding the inductance(b) opposite to that of inductance(c) aiding the capacitance(d) opposite to that of resistanceThe question was posed to me in class test.My question comes from Errors in Dynamometer Wattmeter topic in section Measurement of Power and Related Parameters of Electrical Measurements
Answer» The correct option is (b) opposite to that of INDUCTANCE The best I can explain: For lagging POWER FACTOR of the LOAD, the wattmeter reading is more. As a result, the wattmeter shows a reading opposite to that of the inductance.
