Power Factor for a more efficient circuit and loading

Power factor is an important aspect to consider in AC circuit, because any factor less than 1 means that the circuit wiring has to carry more current than what would be necessary with zero reactance in the circuit to deliver the same true power to the resistive load.     When expressed as fraction, the ratio between true power and  apparent power is called the power factor of the...
