what do you mean by power factor ? in new view..

It is the value of cosine angle between voltage and current due to inductive load (legging power factor) i.e the the value of cos 36 degree is 0.8 ( 0.8 cos fi ),cos 26 degree is 0.9 approx.(0.9 cos fi) and so on. It is also calculate by
True power/Apparent power,Resistance/Impedance or conductance/Admittance.here current leg behind voltage And in capacitive load that angle is minimized i.e improving the power factor.
