NEET Physics Power Factor MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium

In a series LR circuit XL = R and power factor of the circuit is P₁. When capacitor with capacitance C such that Xₗ = Xc is put in series, the power factor becomes P₂. The ratio P₁/P₂ is:

A

1/2

B

1/√2

C

√3/2

D

2:1

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The power factor changes due to the addition of the capacitor, which affects the phase angle between voltage and current.
