In an inductive circuit with an uncorrected power factor of 40 percent to 60 percent, the power factor can be corrected to within 5 percent of unity by the addition of a(n) .

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an inductive circuit, adding a capacitor can improve the power factor by reducing the reactive power and bringing it closer to unity. This is because a capacitor has a leading power factor, which can offset the lagging power factor of the inductor.
