What is the ratio of true power to apparent power in an ac circuit?..

Answer / Vipin Dahiya

The ratio of true power (W) to apparent power (S) in an AC circuit is defined as the power factor (cos φ), where φ is the phase angle difference between current and voltage. Mathematically, it can be represented as: P/S = cos φ
