why the power factor in inductive load is lagging while it
is leading in capacitive load?

Answer Posted / nidhi

in case of capacitor:
voltage lag with the leading current.
and in case of inductor:
voltage lead with the current.
so when cos@ will be taken then it will always be (+)ve .
But whenleading and lagging case is taken then it will be
represented as negative or positive
