What is power factof?

Answer Posted / manasa

Power factor is the ratio between active (real) power to
the apparent power i.e
PF = P/(√P2+Q2)

The power factor can also be calculated from the following
equation provided that the phase difference between the
current and voltage have been measured:

PF = Cosφ
