Question

An ac series circuit has an impedance of 60 Ohm and

Answer 1

Answer:

Power factor of the AC series circuit is $cos\phi=0.5$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Impedance of the AC series circuit, Z = 60 ohms

Resistance of the AC series circuit, R = 30 ohms

We need to find the power factor of the circuit. It is given by :

$cos\phi=\dfrac{R}{Z}$

$cos\phi=\dfrac{30}{60}$

$cos\phi=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$cos\phi=0.5$

So, the power factor of the ac series circuit is $cos\phi=0.5$. Hence, this is the required solution.
