The power factor of R-L circuit is 1 3 . If the inductive reactance is 2 . The value of resistance is
Options
- A2
- B2
- C0.5
- D1 2
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
Given, power factor = 1 3 Inductive reactance, X_ L =2 The power factor in a R-L circuit is given by Power factor = Resistance Impedance = R R²+X_ L ² 1 3 = R R²+4 Squaring both sides, we get aligned 1 3 &= R² R²+4 R²+4 &=3 R² R= 2 aligned
