In the circuit shown in the figure, if the power consumed by the 5 ohm resistor is 10 W, then the power factor of the circuit is _______
-
- 1.06
- 0.6
- 0.06
- 1.6
Correct Option: B
Power consumed by 5 ohm resistor = 10 W
| ∴ Current, I = | ||
| √R |
| = | = √2 A | |
| √5 |
Power consumed by the 10 ohm resistor = 2 × 10 = 20 W
Total power consumed = 30 W
| Circuit volt ampere = | × √2 = 50 W | |
| √2 |
| ∴ Power factor = | = 0.6 (lagging) | |
| 50 |
