Which of the following heating methods has maximum power factor ?
Correct answer: D. Resistance heating
- A. Arc heating
- B. Dielectric heating
- C. Induction heating
- D. Resistance heating
Explanation
Resistance heating has a purely resistive load, so its power factor is unity, the maximum possible value. Induction and dielectric heating generally draw reactive current, reducing their power factors.
