A series L R circuit connected with an ac source E = ( 25 sin 1000 t ) V has a power factor of 1 2 . If the source of emf is changed to E = ( 20 sin 2000 t ) V , the new power factor of the circuit will be :
Options
- A1 2
- B1 3
- C1 5
- D1 7
Correct answer
C. 1 5
Step-by-step solution
For L R circuit, cos ϕ = R X L 2 + R 2 = 1 2 ⇒ R = X L Now, ω ' = 2 ω Therefore, X L ' = ω ' L = 2 ω L = 2 X L Hence, cos ϕ ' = R 2 X L 2 + R 2 = 1 5
