What is mean by power factor?

Answer Posted / rajeev democrat

1. It is the ratio of real power(active) and apperent power.
p.f = kw/kva
2. It is the cosine angle bet voltage and current.
It is denoted by the angle of cos.
3. It is the ratio of useful power to total power in the circuit.
4. In the resistive circuit power factor will be one bcs of no any reactive power here(ideally).
