A capacitor used for power factor correction is single phase circuit decreases

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Networks Analysis and Synthesis - Quiz(MCQ)

line current

power factor

Both line current and p.f.

the line current and increases p.f.

Correct Answer : Option (D) : the line current and increases p.f.

Explanation : Capacitor is used to improve (increase) p.f. Therefore, line current is decreased for the same active power.

Explaination :

Two phasors having rms values V₁ and V₂ which are added to give a phasor having rms value V₃. V₃ is maximum if phase angle between V₁ and V₂ is

90°

180°

270°

360°

Correct Answer :

360°

Explaination : Sum of phasors is maximum if they are in phase and 360° = 0.
