JEE Main & Advanced Physics Alternating Current / प्रत्यावर्ती धारा Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Alternating Current

  • question_answer
    The power factor in a circuit connected to an A.C. The value of power factor is

    A) unity when the circuit contains an ideal inductance only

    B) unity when the circuit contains an ideal resistance only

    C) zero when the circuit contains an ideal resistance only

    D) unity when the circuit contains an ideal capacitance only

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[\cos \,\phi =\frac{R}{Z}\], where Z is the impedance & \[Z=\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{({{X}_{L}}-{{X}_{C}})}^{2}}}\], if there is only resistance then \[Z=R\Rightarrow \cos \,\phi =1\]
