Question

An inductive circuit draw line current of 10


a. if reactive component of line is 6


a. then power factor of circuit is

Answer 1

the power factor =0.8

Answer 2

here total current = 10 A

reactive current = 6 A

so  resistive component of current = sqrt(10^2 - 6^2) = 8 A

so power factor = 8/10 = 0.8 lagging because of inductance
