What is the power factor in a pure resistive circuit?(a) 0(b) -1(c) Infinity(d) 1This question was addressed to me in a national level competition.This interesting question is from Power in AC Circuit : The Power Factor topic in portion Alternating Current of Physics – Class 12

Answer» RIGHT OPTION is (d) 1

Explanation: A CIRCUIT containing only a pure resistance in an AC circuit is known as a pure resistive AC Circuit. For a purely resistive circuit, the power factor is ONE, because the reactive power equals zero, i.e.

Φ = 0 ➔ Power factor (cos⁡0)=1
