how do find power factor in practically and what it means?

Answer Posted / abid ali khattak

For the practically experiment of power factor we need to
connect the two type of same Wattage AC load with the
circuit. 1- inductive load. 2- Resistive load. and then we
need to be measured the current of both laod. We will find
that the inductive load getting more current then resistive
load.( lagging & Leading)
Beacause of inductance which induced in the inductive load.
which always oppose the provided EMF.
