    The power factor in a circuit connected to an AC power supply has a value which is:

    A)  unity when the circuit contains only inductance

    B)  unity when the circuit contains only resistance                  

    C)  zero when the circuit contains an ideal resistance only

    D)  unity when the circuit contains an ideal capacitance only

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Power factor,\[\cos \phi =\frac{R}{Z}\] When circuit contains only resistance, then \[Z=R\] \[\therefore \] \[\cos \phi =\frac{R}{R}=1\]
