Answer / yasir liaquat arain
power factor is the measure of how efficiently a Load uses
Electricty.
or in other words we can say that "How much Energy is
consumed by the Load versus how much the Utility must
providing".
or
power facot = real power/apparent Power
power factor= R/Z
power factor is the cosine angle between Phase Voltage and
phase Current

Answer / abhishek goyal
cosq=P/VI
Power factor= KW/KVA
POWER FACTOR= R/Z
ITS ANGLE BETWEEN THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
IF COSQ=1 ITS A UNITY POWER FACTOR
