Power factor of the following circuit will be unity
Correct answer: C. resistance
- A. inductance
- B. capacitance
- C. resistance
- D. both A. and B.
Explanation
A pure resistance has voltage and current in phase, so its power factor is cos 0° = 1. Pure inductance and capacitance have 90° phase difference and therefore zero power factor.
