Answer / md. zakir hosen

The Cosine value of the angular difference between Voltage
and Current is known as power factor (PF) also the ratio of
active power and reactive power is known as PF.

Answer / manesh.k

The angle created between voltage & current is referred to
as Power Factor.It depends mostly on the load.This plays a
great role in determining the power a load takes.

Answer / maneshwarier

Sorry,Mr Zakir bhai is correct,it's the cosine of angle.

Answer / santhoshbca

The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined
as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the
apparent power [1] [2], and is a number between 0 and 1
(frequently expressed as a percentage, e.g. 0.5 pf = 50%
pf). Real power is the capacity of the circuit for
performing work in a particular time

Answer / ramakrishnan

PF = KW / KVA

It is the Ratio of KW and KVA

Answer / prakash.p

difference between incoming power and out going power (or)
difference between RMS value by apparent value

power factor= kwh/kvah

Answer / arun.b

COSINE OF ANGLE BETWEEN THE VOLTAGE & CURRENT

Answer / a.sathish

acutal power by apperent power

pf= w\v*I

Answer / rekha.k.m.

pf means it is that portion of current which is used for
doing active work .e.g if the pf is 0.8 it means that 80%
of the current is taken for doing active work and the rest
20% is used for creating magnetic field.

Answer / rajeev democrat

1. It is the ratio of real power(active) and apperent power.
p.f = kw/kva
2. It is the cosine angle bet voltage and current.
It is denoted by the angle of cos.
3. It is the ratio of useful power to total power in the circuit.
4. In the resistive circuit power factor will be one bcs of no any reactive power here(ideally).

0 Answers   BARC,

what is the exact direction of current? as we know current travels from higher potential to lower potential,so if we take battery +ve to -ve implies current direction is from positive terminal to negative terminal.,whereas electrons flow from negative to positive as they are attracted by positive ions.current will be the plow of charge but not flow of positive ions.please clarify my doubt friends.
