explain me how a power factor is improved by adding a
capacitor?what capacitor do to improve it?in simple words
and in detail?thx

Answer Posted / p.muralikrishna

My dear friend,
I think you are aware of mechanical fly wheel. This sores
energy when there is excess of supply and supplies the
stored energy when there is short to the extent of its
storing capacity. Also as the capacitor draws a leading
current in contrast to generally lagging current by
inductive load. Thus capacitor tries to bring the load
current nearer to resistive.
