D. 10
Q.1 (v) In a purely inductive and capacitive circuit, power factor is, _____
A. one
B. zero
C. infinity
D. 10
Best answer
Answer: B. zero
Answer: (b) zero
In a purely inductive circuit, a purely capacitive circuit, or a circuit with only L and C (no resistance), the current and emf differ in phase by \(\pi/2\), so power factor \(\cos\phi=\cos 90^\circ=0\). The average power consumed is zero.
