What else can I help you with?
Is a power factor of 1 possible?
No, as 100% efficiency is not possible.AnswerYes, it occurs at resonance. That is, when a circuit's inductive reactance is exactly equal to its capacitive reactance. This can be achieved by adjusting the frequency of the supply until resonance is achieved. Incidentally, power factor has nothing to do with 'efficiency'.
What is power factor of an R L series circuit?
Power factor in any circuit is the ratio of the load's true power to its apparent power. It's also the cosine of the phase angle. In L-R circuits, it's described as a 'lagging power factor', because the load current lags the supply voltage.
Power factor for pure resistive circuit?
ratio between true power and apparent power is called the power factor for a circuit Power factor =true power/apparent power also we conclude PF=power dissipated / actual power in pure resistive circuit if total resistance is made zero power factor will be zero
What are the problems with switching AC currents in a circuit of pure resistance at unity power factor?
Power factor does not apply to a resistive circuit. Just the current will follow the voltage (in phase)
Why low power factor wattmeter is used for open circuit test of transformer?
For open circuit test of transformer, the secondary is open circuit and the circuit impedance is largely inductive due to the core impedance having high L as compared to R. hence the power factor is reduced, thus , we use low power factor wattmeters.
What is the power factor on a circuit in resonance?
You are presumably referring to an 'R-L-C' circuit. At resonance, the load current is in phase with the supply voltage and, so, the power factor is unity.
Resonance in an L-C-R AC Series circuit experiment?
In an L-C-R AC series circuit, resonance occurs when the capacitive and inductive reactances cancel each other out, resulting in minimum impedance. This causes the current in the circuit to be at its maximum and the power factor to be unity. By measuring the frequency at which resonance occurs, one can determine the values of the inductor, capacitor, and resistor in the circuit.
Find the conditioies RCL circuitn of resonance of a series circuit.?
At resonance,Xl=Xc subsituting the values we get resonant frequency and impedance Z=R it is high and power is max I2 R
Under what condition will the power factor of a series R-L circuit approach unity?
The power factor of a series R-L circuit will approach unity when the reactive component (inductor) in the circuit approaches zero, such as at very high frequencies where the inductive reactance becomes small relative to the resistance. At this point, the circuit behaves mostly resistively and the power factor gets closer to 1.
When is the power factor of a motor 1?
When the circuit is purely resistive or in resonance, i.e. capacitive and inductive reactance cancels out.Power factor is the ratio of apparent power over true power, and is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current.
Condition of resonance in RLC circuit?
XL=Xc is the resonance condition for an RLC circuit
What will b the power factor of a series circut when r is made zero?
The power factor never depends on the resistance of a circuit. It depends on the equivalent inductance and capacitance in the circuit, and on the frequency of the power supply, even if the resistance is zero.
Is a power factor of 1 possible?

Name type of circuit load which the apparent power is greater than the active power?
Inductive loads have a power factor of less than 1, which means the apparent power is greater than the active power in these circuits. This is due to the lagging power factor caused by the inductive components in the load.
What is power factor of resistor?
A resistor doesn't have a power factor. However, if a circuit is pure resistance in nature the power factor will be one when a voltage is applied and a current flows in the circuit. The power factor is a measure of the relative phases of the current and voltage in a circuit.
What is the power factor of a circuit?
power factor means kw/kva
