The power factor in a circuit connected to an A.C. The value of power factor is

a
Unity when the circuit contains an ideal inductance only
b
Unity when the circuit contains an ideal resistance only
c
Zero when the circuit contains an ideal resistance only
d
Unity when the circuit contains an ideal capacitance only

detailed solution

Correct option is B

cosϕ=RZ, where Z is the impedance & Z=R2+(XL−XC)2, if there is only resistance then Z=R⇒cosϕ=1
