Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current question from MHT CET 2023 (14 May, Shift 1)

Q42MHT CET 2023 · 14 MAY · SHIFT 1Easy

Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

For a purely inductive or a purely capacitive circuit, the power factor is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

For pure L or pure C, current and voltage differ in phase by $\phi = 90^\circ$ .
Power factor $= \cos 90^\circ = 0$ .
So the answer is (a) zero.
