Which of the following statements correctly explains the relationship between power factor and power loss in electric power transmission circuits?

Options

  1. AA low power factor results in smaller power loss in transmission.
  2. BA low power factor implies a decrease in voltage, reducing power loss.
  3. CA low power factor leads to an increase in current, causing large power loss.
  4. DA low power factor is irrelevant to power loss in transmission.

Correct answer

C. A low power factor leads to an increase in current, causing large power loss.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C)
A low power factor leads to an increase in current, causing large power loss.
