  1. If δ is the loss angle of the cable, then its power factor is
    1. sin δ
    2. cos δ
    3. independent of δ
    4. depends upon δ but it is not as per (a) and (b)
Correct Option: A


Figure depicts the equivalent circuit for a cable represented by leak age resistance R and capacitance C.
From phasor diagram,
power factor angle, φ = 90° – δ
or cos φ = cos (90° – δ) = sin δ
