If the current in a capacitor leads the voltage by 80°, the loss angle of the capacitor is_________________?
Correct answer: A. 10°
- A. 10°
- B. 80°
- C. 120°
- D. 170°
Explanation
For a practical capacitor, the current leads the voltage by slightly less than 90°. The loss angle is the deficiency from 90°, so it is 90° − 80° = 10°.
