Question
The apparent power developed in an R-L a.c. circuit is 30 VA. If the source is 36 V, 50 Hz and the resistor is 40 Ohm, determine the power factor of the circuit.
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
I=S/V=0.833A. P=I2R=27.78W. PF=P/S=0.926.
Hint
I=S/V=0.833A.
