in non technical way how can u define POWER FACTOR??..

Answer / Vikash Choudhary

Power factor is a measure of how efficiently an electrical device uses electricity. It's like comparing the actual power being used by a device (the useful work done) to the theoretical maximum power that could be drawn from the same voltage and frequency conditions (the total power available). If a device has a power factor close to 1, it's using electricity very efficiently.
