In an AC circuit, the power factor :
- A is zero when the LCR series circuit is at resonance
- B is one, when the circuit contains an ideal resistor only
- C is one, when the circuit contains an ideal inductor only
- D is one, when the circuit contains an ideal capacitor only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) is one, when the circuit contains an ideal resistor only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Power factor \( \cos \phi = 1 \) when the circuit contains an ideal resistor only, as \( \phi = 0^\circ \).
