NEET2016PhysicsAlternating CurrentActual
The potential differences across the resistance, capacitance, and inductance are 80   V ,   40   V and 100   V , respectively in an LCR circuit. The power factor of this circuit is
Options
- A0 . 4
- B0 . 5
- C0 . 8
- D1 . 0
Correct answer
C. 0 . 8
Step-by-step solution
P ac = V rms I rms cos ϕ , where, cos ϕ is the power factor. cosϕ = R z = V R V = 80 80 2 + 100 - 40 2 = 80 100 = 0.8 . where, Z is the impedance of the circuit.
