method has leading power factor____________?
Correct answer: B. Dielectric heating
- A. Resistance heating
- B. Dielectric heating
- C. Arc heating
- D. Induction heating
Explanation
Dielectric heating uses an insulating load that behaves predominantly capacitively, so its current leads the applied voltage. Resistance heating has unity power factor, while induction heating is usually lagging.
