An RLC circuit has a reactance,due to its capacitance,of 11 kΩ;a reactance,due to its inductance,of 3 kΩ;and a resistance of 29 kΩ.What is the power factor of the circuit?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The power factor is calculated as the cosine of the phase angle, which is the ratio of resistance to impedance. The impedance is the square root of the sum of the squares of resistance and net reactance (difference between inductive and capacitive reactance). The power factor is 0.96.
