Question #1
The power factor in an AC circuit is defined as:
A. Both (a) and (c)
B. Cosine of phase angle between voltage and current
C. Ratio of resistance to impedance
D. Ratio of apparent power to true power

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Power factor = cosφ, where φ is phase angle between voltage and current. Also, power factor = R/Z (resistance/impedance) for series circuits, and = true power (W) / apparent power (VA). Thus both (a) and (c) are correct definitions. Memory tip: 'Power factor = cosφ = R/Z = P/S; ideal = 1 (purely resistive)'. This definition question tests AC circuit knowledge, crucial for competitive exams. Always link power factor to energy efficiency: low power factor means more current for same power, increasing losses.

Question #3
The unit of power is
A. Pascal
B. Watt
C. Newton
D. Joule

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Watt (W) = Joule/second. SI unit of power. Horsepower is another unit (1 HP ≈ 746 W). Joule is energy, Newton force, Pascal pressure.
