Answer / rajesh
power factor is the cosine of the angle between voltage and

factor is unity. however, in practice this not possible
since loads are not purely reistive.
cos phi = active power/apparent power

A graph drawn between voltage(V) and Current(I), a curve
will form due to loss between voltage and current. This is
called power factor.
This is also defind as the ratio between Apparent power to
Actual power.
Power Factor = KW / KVA.
