The rms current in an AC circuit is 2 A. If the wattless current be √3 A, what is the power factor of the circuit?
Options
(a) (1/2)
(b) (1/3)
(c) 1/√3
(d) 1/√2
Correct Answer:
(1/2)
Explanation:
We know that, Iwʟ = I(rms) sin ɸ
⇒ √3 = 2 sin ɸ or, sin ɸ = √3 / 2 ⇒ ɸ = 60°
So, power factor = cos ɸ = cos 60° = 1 / 2
