Answer / ramky
cosine of the angle b/w voltage and current is nothing but
the power factor. it is very use full in a.c systems , by
using this we can measure active power
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 5 Yes | 1 No |
its cosine of angle between voltage and current of the given system.
its present in both ac and dc circuit but in case of dc its always 1 as angle between voltage and current in this case is always 0 degree.so generally we don't talk about pf in dc.
but in case of ac it varies from 0 to 1.

Mr.Pillay
In capacitive load the power factor is leading.
In inductive load the power factor is lagging.

Answer / monika hassan.
Power factor is the ratio of true power or watts to
apparent power or volt amps
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 5 Yes | 3 No |
Answer / pillay
to make a long storey short Ramky & monika have answered.It is present only in AC circuits.
it is used for the calculation of real power from apparent power.Gives you an idea how capacitive or inductive is a load.

i want to apper for apgenco or aptransco or related can any one sugest me where can i get previous papers of thouse exams
what is a diffrence between MCCB, RCCB, MCB, & ELCB ? what is rated current e.g. on motor name plate indicated that is rated curent? what is full load current? If we run D.C. motor with mechanical coupling and we measure voltage on terminal it shows voltage or not ? same in AC also possible ?
