In an AC circuit, current is 3 A and voltage 210 V and power is 63 W . The power factor is ____________ .

  1. A 0.11
  2. B 0.09
  3. C 0.08
  4. D 0.1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D) 0.1
\(
\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{P} & =\mathrm{VI} \cos \phi \\
\therefore \cos \phi & =\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{VI}} \\
\therefore \cos \phi & =\frac{63}{3 \times 210} \\
\therefore \cos \phi & =0.1
\end{aligned}
