Improving power factor does nothing to improve a circuit. It merely affects the amount of current drawn by the load.

Why inductor is used in electrical circuit?
To improve the power factor
What is power factor of resistor?
A resistor doesn't have a power factor. However, if a circuit is pure resistance in nature the power factor will be one when a voltage is applied and a current flows in the circuit. The power factor is a measure of the relative phases of the current and voltage in a circuit.
The power factor of a purely resistive circuit will be?
The power factor of a purely resistive circuit is 1.0.
What is the power factor of a circuit?
power factor means kw/kva
What is power factor of a circuit?
power factor means kw/kva
Power factor for pure resistive circuit?
ratio between true power and apparent power is called the power factor for a circuit Power factor =true power/apparent power also we conclude PF=power dissipated / actual power in pure resistive circuit if total resistance is made zero power factor will be zero
What is the power of a circuit?
power factor means kw/kva
The power factor represents?
power factor=real power/apparent power... real power in the sense the capacity of the circuit for performing a work in a particular time..for example the work done by a motor circuit is so and so...real power is what we consume from them... apparent power if the product of the current thro' the circuit and the voltage...it will be always greater than the real power.. if the POWER FACTOR IS 1.0(100%),THEN THE AC POWER IN THE CIRCUIT WILL BE EQUIVALENT TO THE POWER OFFERED BY A DC CIRCUIT....
Different types of power factor in different circuits?
The different types of power factor are: # Leading ( Due to Capacitive Circuit) # Lagging (Due to Inductive Circuit) # Unity (Due to Resistive Circuit)
Why the power factor improves with the load?
Power factor doesn't necessarily 'improve with the load', but it is determined by the load.
Why does a capacitor improve power factor?
yes power capacitar ust inprove the power factor and sae the kvah reding
How can a tuned RC circuit improve the power factor of an inductive motor circuit?
The RC circuit can reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current in the power line. The phase shift is caused by the inductance of the motor. The phase shift between the voltage and current in the power line causes problems due to the presence of so called imaginary current or power that does no work but must be supplied by the power source.
